Personal experiences with the name Christy: | Edit

I am 29 and was named Christy in reference to the Irish male name Christy, which is a family name. I always HATED the name so much that I changed to my middle name, which is a popular but pretty name. Now I like Christy and I wish I hadn't changed it.
