888.0. "Christain" by SALEM::BAILEY_K () Mon Jul 12 1993 11:15

    Any comments on the first name Christain for a boy?
    
    I don't mind it being shortened to "Chris", but have heard comments
    around the potential for other kids teasing him, since I don't believe
    its too common in the US (is it?).  Comments around it being close to
    "Christine", etc.
    
    Also, my husband's family always gives 2 middle names and he'd like his
    son to have two also, but we're having a hard time with them.  We're 
    considering  Christain Matthew ... Bailey.  Any suggestions?  Only four
    weeks left...
    
    Thanks,
    Kathy

	Christian is a well-known name for boys here in the UK, however I've never heard of Christain, which sounds to me as if it would be pronounced Chris-tain rather than Chris-ti-an. Sam

	Kathy, As for the second middle name, how about one of these? Christian Matthew Adam Bailey James Luke Tyler Kent Kevin Kyle Ryan Steven David Dean Personally, I prefer the shorter names if there are 2 middle names - like Kyle, Ryan, or Dean - but they all sound good to me. Good luck winding down the selection process... -Cori
