    There’s a rugby player called Christ - commentators call him a sound more like Chris and then add a t at the end… “Chrissed” as an approximation.

      Bassist for Nirvana’s name was Krist, pronounced the same way, basically how I assume the driver’s name in the OP was pronounced too.

        TIL: There is no such person as Chris Novacelic (sp?) - I’ve always misheard his name.

        Please don’t tell me it was Kirk Cobain…

          Kurt Cocaine is what my wife calls him.

          She said it by accident one time when we were first dating and I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself, so the name has stuck.
