Christ

If Chris is a shorterned version of “Christopher,” then would it be acceptable to name your child “Christopher” but refer to him as Christ?

Is this blasphemous?

Not if you want him to trust you with a nailgun.

ask this question.

All names belong to God. For instance, my birth name is Paul, which means “small.” God is bigger than the biggest, and smaller than the smallest, so the name originally belongs to Him. My Hare Krishna name is Pandu, which means “effulgent.” God’s effulgence is beyond description.

Krishna personally advised me to name my children after Him.

Actually, the name “Christ” is a modification of “Krishna.” Krista is one pronunciation of Krishna. Same name.

Which came first?
Christ is the English version of the Greek version
of a Hebrew or Aramaic (?) name.

if you ask Christopher Moore, it’s Josh. If you haven’t read Lamb, what are you waiting for?
