Help[Opinions] I think of *a* Christian, which for me
in reply to a message by Anne
as an atheist, doesn't exactly do a lot for the name. I do like some Biblical names and all, and ones with Christian or other religious-themed meanings or connections (Abraham, Jeremiah, Solomon, Christopher, whatever else) but Christian to me is more of a label than a name. Since it's a label that I completely reject for myself I don't think I'd bestow it on my child. Ditto that for any other outright religious label whether it happens to be generally acceptable as a name or not.
If I was in your shoes without all of my own personal connotations, I still wouldn't use it. You don't love it and that's reason enough.

I agree. It does seem like more of a label than a name. I prefer the way Christian sounds over the sound of Christopher though.
