Oh my gosh, I can't imagine going around being named "Christopher Robin" - and I feel like, if your mother was planning on naming you that, she'd probably have insisted on not shortening it (because what's the point of having a name like that if you're just going to go by "Chris"). Good thing for you it didn't turn out that way!
As I mentioned to HSV, I probably would have been named James after my grandfather, but my mother would have definitely made sure that I was "Jamie" at least while I was a kid. I don't think I'd ever want to go by "Jim" because that sounds so country bumpkin to me for some reason, but I imagine that I would have been James as an adult.
