Sometimes all that is required to help clear the air and open the door to healing is a straightforward talk that is honest.

Consider using a nickname or a middle name.

You may want to consider using a nickname just while your parents are around in order to alleviate some of the stress that is associated with the name “Chris.”

It’s possible that options such as “CJ,” “Kit,” or even his middle name may work. You will be able to maintain the name that.
