Literal meaning
"Sleeps-at-Night; Walks-by-Day."

History
Created by Act of God around 11am, the name Christopher was originally used ineffectually to refer to unsettlingly enthusiastic night soil collectors, before it began experimenting with drugs.

Famous Christophers
1. "Terrible" Christopher B Chinly, of the generation which fondly remembers the self-propelled gardener; first holder of the office of Royal Plumber's Mate;
2. Christopher Nightdodge, disgusted by the Brass Nose;
3. Christopher U Dufallily, belittler of Explode-O, the wonder bang dismantler; ghost-writer of Punchy Massive's revolutionary, hologram autobiography, DOCTOR! THE FORCEPS!; last holder of the office of Country's Most Secret Spy;
4. Christopher Smmith, first victim of the Formidable Coat;
5. Christopher Toot, PhD, MD, champion of the everlasting trouser; first holder of the office of Last Out of the Building When the Fire-Alarm Rings;
6. Christopher O Sprewt, reputedly trapped for fifteen days under a fallen monument to sixty entirely new ways to kneel;
7. Christopher X Q Tube, PhD, who lost a fortune on Evap-o-Floor; ghost-writer of Clive Dunn's heavily censored autobiography, TOOT-A-TWANG-TWANG;
8. Christopher V I Itching, who discovered static electricity; ghost-writer of Vivian Leigh's compelling autobiography, SEE YOU IN HELL; first holder of the office of Her Majesty's Punchbag;
9. Christopher de Grating, RN ("The Suspicious"), once saved by the quick-burning funeral boat; last holder of the office of London and Home Counties Chief Dawdler;
10. Christopher Endeavour, aroused by edible bark; ghost-writer of Lindsay Anderson's generally tolerated autobiography, I'M FEELING QUEASY, GEOFFREY; first holder of the bewilderingly ritualistic office of Official Kerb-Trip-Overer.

Typical Christopher motto
"When the sky clears, look to your ears."

The famous names are a pretty cute fnorder, but the "Ghost-writer of X's autobiography" comes up a bit too often :).
