Um... My name is Christopher.
Chris is over used, and no matter what public situation you're in, saying "Chris" draws attention from 50 guys and 8 women.
Christ, on the other hand, actually removes attention... when you say "Christ", most people think you're saying the shorter form of "Jesus Christ", as though you're cursing something... and will intentionally not pay attention. Thank you, got what I wanted.
That, in addition to the fact that it's funny to watch/listen to people mispronounce "Christ" with a short "i" sound, as if to say "Crystal" without the "ull" sound. I assume most people do this simply to avoid saying "Christ", thinking that I might be offended at a mispronunciation of my surname.
Either way, Christ. It's simple. And it's never taken.
