I've been having a soft spot for the nickname Chip lately, but the only person I know with the nickname, it's in no relationship with his name. Also, I would never use the name by itself, because not everyone can age that name. So my question is, what do you think would be a good name that Chip could be a nickname for?

So far I'm thinking perhaps Charles and Christopher.

Edit: Due to the amount of comments relating to this, I want to add in something, rather than comment to every person who has mentioned this. I know someone named Chip, and his legal name is Robert. He often talks about "being a chip off the ol' block", and I know he was named after his father. I just was taking it a step further, and began thinking if there was a way to use that nickname in a way other than in that sense. Granted, I don't see myself using that name any which way, simply because my dad knows the guy too, and his reaction would be, "You named your kid after Chip?" (well, and the fact that I'm not going to be pregnant any time soon). It was just the way my mind went.

There was a kid a few grades below me in school that went by Chip exclusively. I never heard another name associated with him. Then the yearbook staff made a mistake and put in his real name instead of his preferred name. The poor kid's name was Almond.
