Some people are asking about my name on my book Keeping the Tryst: "Robert Christopher Knight". Inside the book I'm almost always referred to as Chris, which is what I've answered to all my life. So where does "Robert" come from?
My full name is Robert Christopher Knight. My dad was Robert Rankin Knight. Instead of me being a "junior" my parents gave me a different middle name. And I guess to differentiate Dad and I when someone was attempting to communicate with one of us, they called me Chris. And that's the way it's been for all my life: I've been "Chris Knight". I've very rarely been called "Robert Knight". One of my first teachers in college called me "Bob" early on and he was REALLY confounded about my preferring to be "Chris".
So, I'm Chris Knight. But whenever I've published something or run for office (which there will likely only ever be one time that I do that) I've done so as "Christopher Knight". Why? It's in the pages of my book. It's something I do in honor of what God has done in my life. Saul of Tarsus became Paul the Apostle. Just so, I took on a different name for my writing (and other stuff).
But the REAL reason why my name is "Robert Christopher Knight" on the cover and title page of my book?
I don't want to be confused with Christopher Knight who played Peter on The Brady Bunch.
