When my mom and I would watch The Young And The Restless I always wondered how the character Christine ended up with the nickname Cricket? I always thought that it was a cute nickname. Was it a childhood nickname or was it because she couldn't pronounce Christine as a toddler?

The nickname Cricket is sometimes used for young children with the name Christine or other "Chris" names, such as the nickname "Scooter" is given to young boys named Scott. Later on, the show made sure to address her character as Christine when she was older and when she became a lawyer, as the name "Cricket Blair, Attorney-At-Law" just wouldn't sound very convincing to someone looking for legal help!

Oh, so that's how the character Christine got the nickname Cricket on The Young And The Restless? Mom and I liked her because she was smart and was so cool and very bubbly at times
