The worst and saddest Q & As at Yahoo Answers. -- (link) - mara May 29, 09:51 1
- most of those must be fake, don't you think? -- nm - loosilu May 29, 09:57
I'm sorry to anyone with loved ones affected by this post, but "Christin" is *the most* annoying spelling variation of that name. - Max May 29, 09:45 9
- One of my co-workers has this name. First time I've met someone with it. He said his parents meant to name him Tristin, but the hospital screwed up - Subversive May 29, 10:06
- Yeah they all end up as Christy anyway. -- nm - Loyola May 29, 09:46
- Wait. Christin = Christian? I figured Christin = Kristen. -- nm - ty97 May 29, 09:45 6
  - i think it does but Max is saying that people called Christin are always going to be mistakenly called Christian. - Andie May 29, 09:48 3
    - ahh, ok. I don't love the spelling, but it really would baffle me if it was meant to be pronounced Christian -- nm - ty97 May 29, 09:48 2
      - It's not, but see the confusion it's causing? Parents, do not name your child Christin. If you have friends considering it, correct them quickly. -- nm - Max May 29, 09:50 1
        
        There are also way too many Caiden, Caden, Aiden, Aden, Hayden, Haden, etc -- nm - ty97 May 29, 09:55
  - You figured right, but every time everyone on my softball team sees it in print they think it's a typo. - Max May 29, 09:47
  - Me too. -- nm - mara May 29, 09:46
