Christopher not Chris…

Me: “Hello, my is Christopher.”

Other person: “Hi Chris.”

My skull: “Who is that?”

Is it a big deal? No, but I find it funny. 

  • If my name was Robert, would the other person shorten it to Bob?
  • If my name was Richard, would  the other person shorten it to Dick?
  • If my name was William would the other person shorten it to Bill?
  • If my name was _______ would the other person shorten it to _______?

Rob, Rich and Will…

Growing up I went by Chris, so my family and older friends know me as Chris.  In high school I started to prefer Christopher.  Once college rolled around I went by Christopher as I met new friends.

K, bye
