Description:
Christopher is the patron saint of travellers, controversial "discoverer" of the New World, and Winnie the Pooh's sole human friend. This classic name experienced a huge revival in popularity from 1960-2000 and remains a go-to boys' name. Despite it's prominence, it's not one of those names one gets sick of hearing over and over again. A real winner.
