[Opinions] Re: Names that are easy to cause a person to be misgendered
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
Female Chrises' real names tend to be short for either Christine or Christina. Female Alexes are born Alexandra.

I've seen more variety with Alex than with Chris-- Alexandria, Alexa, Alexia, Alexis, etc. as well as Alexandra. (I'm sure some of the ones I've met have just been named Alex too, but maybe I assumed it was short for something and never asked.)
With Christina, Christine, etc. I think Christy and Chrissy have become a lot more popular nicknames than Chris. When I was younger I met a lot of girls called Chris short for one of those names, but now I feel like I only meet Christy's, Christie's, Chrissy's, etc.
