So professional sports analysts - who get paid to do this sort of thing - will pronounce his first name correctly. Good lord. #chris-tin
How about CMike's parents just learn to spell. If they wanted his name to be pronounced Cris-tin, they shouldn't have spelled it cris-TEEN.Our Man in Chicago":1in9j9x8 said:So professional sports analysts - who get paid to do this sort of thing - will pronounce his first name correctly.

Off-season levity, by the way. I'm not actually upset.

The thing is: his mother wanted a girl. Had settled on the name Christine, pronounced Christine. But the man himself hasn't pronounced it that way - ever.
I will posit that the dude should pick one pronunciation and stick with it.

We had a baby born and the mother wanted the girl's name to be "Virginia". V-a-g-i-n-a is how she wanted it spelled. It took three days of attempting to sway her towards the correct spelling and another three days getting a hold of her husband on a ship in the middle east. He was an idiot too and agreed with the mother on the spelling of the name.
After all was said and done, I filled out the birth certificate with the correct spelling and the mother came in and signed it. I don't think she could read, so she didn't notice what was done. Someone must have pointed it out because a few weeks later I was called in to the captain's office where the captain proceeded to rip me a new one in front of this idiot woman. Once she left, the captain thanked me for doing what I did and laughed at the thought of them going out of their way to get their baby's name changed to Vagina.
