[Opinions] Re: Christopher
in reply to a message by scholasticastewart
Well chosen. :) I really like the name Christopher, I've been thinking about it as well! :) I am going to name my little son Moshe and I was thinking, why do I have to get so many criticisms? Why can't I just settle for William Christopher? That's the example that came into my head. It's a popular, well-educated, fine name. But Moshe can't escape from me.
Anyway, I LOVE the name Noam and guess what! I was going through a baby name book back in middle school and I decided that I REALLY like the name Noam, even better than the popular Noah!
Noam and Christopher sound really nice together! Kinda like my Gianna and Moshe. :D I love it! Defeinitely, if you haven't already done so, name your baby boy Noam, it's WAY adorable!!! :) It's soft, and gentle-sounding.
The one thing that puts me off of Christopher is the nickname Chris. My brother's really good friend is also a Christopher (so is my neighbor) and they BOTH get Chris all the time. Lovely name though all said out as Christopher. Good job!

Thanks for the Noam love! :D
Noam is definitely my top-choice for my future son's name. I too was looking through a baby name book, when I chanced upon it. I was trying to name the protagonist for my short story and was torn between using Noah and Noam. I gave Noam a chance and I've loved it ever since. I agree, Noam does sound soft and gentle-sounding. And I can see a Noam as being quiet and intellectual, but rather confident at the same time.
And the Chris nickname doesn't bother me that much. If I had a son named Christopher, I personally wouldn't call him Chris a whole lot but I wouldn't mind if his friends did or anything.

Yeap, I definitely see an intelligent guy named Noam! Confident as well!
Yeah, Moshe is definitely my top choice for my future baby boy's name as well! I guarantee, if I'd be pregnant right now and I'm in the delivery room (oh I can't WAIT for that day! The whole family is there, my dearest future husband by my side, all ready to cut the umbilica cord, little Moshe crying, me meeting him...) and my son would be born, I'd tell all the nurses, administrative people that his name will be Moshe! And I'd write it out as well- make sure they don't misspell it!
Yeah, I see your point--it doens't bother me either the Chris thing, call him Christopher because it's gorgeous!!!!
