Ricardo Weston Chandler
Ricardo Weston Chandler is Chris's Spanish alter-ego. Presumably named in honor of Ricky Ricardo, star of I Love Lucy, one of Chris's favorite TV shows.
Presumably a "Spanish name" he chose for Spanish class (a general practice in language classes where students will take a name in the language they're learning in order to "get into" the culture and language). Of course, while most people forget about this when they've left the course (or in some cases, even the teachers abandon the practice shortly into the course), Chris has adopted "Ricardo" as his actual Spanish name and uses it for his Spanish related endeavors. Of note is that, apparently, Chris learned the European dialect of Spanish as is common in the Northwest Coast, unlike the Cuban that is taught in Florida or the Mexican that is taught in the southmost states.
He is oblivious to the fact that in most European languages, people do not change their name when using a different language, but instead use the language's native form of the name, or transliterate it to fit the language's orthography. While Christian is actually a rather common name in Hispanic countries, if it were translated, his full name would be "Cristóbal Cristian Weston Velero". Of course it must be noted that Ricardo's linguistic skills have brought us gems such as noviophobia.
Chris notably demonstrates his faculties with the Spanish language, or otherwise lack thereof, in this video.
