On the Spelling of My First Name

I have been made aware that people struggle with correctly spelling my first name by people spelling my first name incorrectly on a variety of occasions. If you, too, struggle to spell my first name correctly, or have spelt my first name incorrectly in the past and want to do better, I have prepared a quick, two-step tutorial that should be helpful.

Step 1: Avoid These Spellings If You Want to Spell My First Name Correctly

  • Chris
  • Kris
  • Khris

Step 2: Spell My First Name Like This If You’d Like to Spell It Correctly

  • Kristoffer

Please note that Step 1 will be regularly updated with crowd-sourced incorrect spellings of my first name that should be avoided. Please let me know if I shall credit you by name in case you have made a contribution.

For your convenience, I am also currently working on a how-to guide that will focus on the spelling of my last name.

Thank you, and good luck next time you send me an email!
