niki - 93 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I dont think of religion when i hear the name Christian - just the actor Christian Slater... Its your son you call him what you feel right. We call our daughter Emogene pronounced (Imogen) i have heard a couple of people say a good guinness name but that wasnt our intentions when choosing the name - i picked it because it means well loved child.

sarahann - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) When I hear it as a boys' name, that's all I think of. I don't think of the religion and I don't think of it as a religious name.

Mommyof2boys - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I see it both ways, I know of a couple of Christian's and they love their names.

slnkl - 100 days ago Rating: 4.5 (2 votes) just a name...but since you brought it up...i am thinking of it as a religious name... its a very pretty name though. my bestfriends little brother is named christian.

MommaD - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (2 votes) I think of it religously...nothing wrong with that =D

ashleyandcaleb - 100 days ago Rating: 4 (2 votes) I usually think of the name first before i think of the religion.

windchime - 100 days ago Rating: 4.5 (2 votes) I hear both - it's a pretty mainstream name, but I do assume that his family is Christian (in religion). If you don't mind people assuming that, then go ahead with it.

mzblondex - 100 days ago Rating: 4 (2 votes) when i hear the name as a persons name it doesnt make me think or religion. its rather a common name now.

bobalu - 100 days ago Rating: 4.5 (2 votes) I know of several boys named Christian or that have Christian as a middle name. I don't believe that the name was necessarily a reflection of religion but because they just liked the name. It totally understand the dilemma as your child will have this name for the rest of his life and any connotation that goes with it. I think that either way though it is a beautiful name. Congratulations and good luck with your baby boy.

leahs - 100 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) My sons name is Christian, I chose it not for religious reasons but just because I loved the name. I managed to go 4yrs without anyone calling him Chris,until I met my spouse and he started would not call him Christian, it was always Chris, now I call him Chris myself :)

CarynDubeau - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I have a friend names Kristian! i think its awesome! Spelt different... but its said the same! Go for it!

Holly28 - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I love the name and actually wanted to use it myself. My b/f had other ideas though so its not the one we are going with.

kayla-love - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) Its a great name, I like it.I dont think anything of religion or a statement, just a beautiful name.

lmo - 100 days ago Rating: 4.5 (2 votes) i love that name it is cute. i think that people will make the name as they want. just because it is a type of religion dont let that effect your desicion

slg3233 - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I hear the boys name Christian. I love that name. I used to babysit a little boy named Christian and I loved him to death although I have no idea how he is doing now or were he is. His Mom was kind of a crazy mom. Although Christian is a statement of religion also, you shouldn't be weary of it. I say go for it!

Baby3OnWay - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I think of a sweet young boy... I had a next door neighbour who had a son by this name and he was the cutest little gentelman in the world! I LOVE IT!!! Christian James was going to be my sons name until the last minute change to Travis John... so completely not even close HAHAHA

mattie4 - 100 days ago Rating: 2.7 (3 votes) i know a couple of christians...and well christians they are not...lol. I also think of the actor christian slater :) (showing my age). It has always been a name i have liked, and i never connect it to the Chrisitan religion.

gr8scottswife - 100 days ago Rating: 1.5 (2 votes) Just Christian, nothing attached.

mommy-of-3 - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) No I think of the name itself. This was actually one of the names I considered for this baby but we went with a different one instead. Needless to say I absolutely LOVE this name and you should definitely use it. :)

jessicadarling - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) When I meet someone named Christian I do not automatically think of religion. It doesn't even phase me. If I think into it though I assume that his family must be religious. I know that I would not name my son Christian unless I wanted him to have a religious name. But I don't see the name as a statement of religion

asutori - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I do not see it as being related to the religion at all actually... I think it is a beautiful name! The name Christian doesn't even come from Christianity itself as for example Christ comes from Khristos, which means Messiah in greek. So they are not even related technically... It is different though when a person names their child after religious figures such as Jesus or Mohammad, etc. I would stick with it girl, with no worry!

lizzie287 - 100 days ago Rating: 2.5 (2 votes) Christian to me is just a name.

MelissaJoanne - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I've told you some of my feelings on the name. I will add, when I encounter someone named Christian, I don't think automatically of my faith, or wonder if they are Christian themselves (though as I told you, I do find it weird when non-Christians don't think about the meaning and use the name for a child). When I meet a guy named Jesus I assume that his family is religious, likely Catholic. When I meet a boy named Christian, I don't have the same assumption. I think it a lovely name, especially since you are in fact a Christian. Much like Christmas has become mainstream, so has the name Christian.

njstewy - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I love that name. I was considering it for a name if I was gonna have a boy

Rhonda Lynn - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I think that Christian is a great name. There will be people who see the religious connection ( and they will most likely be religious folks) but others will see a beautiful name for a beautiful baby. Go with your feelings, mom's always right!

lindamc - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I hear a boys name!

Melanie07 - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I hear a boys name. It is a very common name today. It can be taken either way. Usually it is just a name. I like it.

jen - 100 days ago Rating: 2 (1 votes) Just a wonderful boys name is all I hear, but be ready for everyone to call him Chris! Personally I like the name Chris....it's my hubby's name!

lindaynino - 100 days ago Rating: 3 (2 votes) Sorry! I didn´t even realized until now Christian is obviously related to Christ, I've heard that name so many times, the meaning actually fades!!! Is a beautiful name actually!!!

joyfulnoise - 100 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I hear it as a nice boys' name, not a statement of religion.
