Could be worth mentioning that the Scandinavian name Kristoffer
unlike the English Christopher is stressed on the middle syllable. I
assume KK's stock is from around these parts.
The surname Christopherson is not uncommon in the north of Britain. I
suppose they all have the usual 2nd syllable stress. (Or what?)
