My little sister is named Kristy (born 1995) and she does have to explain how to spell it a lot. People tend to assume it is spelled with a C. Also, sometimes people mishear her name and call her Chrissy. However, she likes the uniqueness of her name and told me she is happy she is not just another Sam as her class has a lot of Sams both male and female.
