[Opinions] Re: Kris - truly neutral?
I'm with those who say Kris reads as slightly more feminine than neutral (although Kris could be masc and still be conventional).
Chris is a little tiny bit more neutral. However, I personally have known a lot more guys who went by Chris, than gals - so I think I would tend to assume Chris is a guy, even though I know better and wouldn't try a pronoun.For maximum gender-mystery (without sounding too young), I'd go with Robin or Lee.- mirfak

I think Kris is a more feminine version of Chris, but overall I'd say gender-neutral. Chris reads as strictly masculine to me; same with Lee. Robin is definitely gender-neutral, though!
