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.
Ah, so then it's not Chris t. as I was figuring.

Nevyn is one of my all time favorite characters from a book series I love.
