What are your thoughts on the name "Christopher"?
Should it be avoided since "Christ" is included in the name?
It appears to be a Roman Catholic derived name meaning "Bearer of the anointed one (Christ)."
Raised Roman Catholic, I was named after St. Christopher, I was told he was my saint and I wore the Catholic medal around my neck. According to RC legend this saint carried the Christ child over a dangerous and swift river.
Is there any reason to avoid giving this name to our covenant children?
So do we treat this name the same as some do with Christmas and Xmas?
Should I be called XopherPaul?
Serious question (I will not be ofended if you think my name is blasphemous)
