[Opinions] From experience...
in reply to a message by Nicci
It's a nice name in theory, but doesn't really work. I know a guy named Kristen personally and his name has been a bit of a sore spot for him. He prefers going by Kris when he can, and he's gotten made fun of a bit...mostly in jest from his friends, but still enough that he's not fond of his name at all. Christian or even Kristian would be a better idea and less likely to cause problems. Even though there are a lot of little girl Averys and Finleys running around, gender swapping doesn't really work both ways and it is difficult for a boy to have a "girly" name even though a girl can bear a masculine one. Keep Kristen on the GP list, that's my advice.
