Chris is a long-running nickname used almost equally for boys and girls.  While past its prime, Chris stands out as sounding completely appropriate for both sexes, perhaps because of its widespread use as a short form of both the popular Christopher and Christine.  Chris manages to retain its crisp appeal even though its fashion moment is over.
