Christopher means “follower of Christ”, which is not a bad meaning exactly, since we Muslims follow Christ, among all the rest of the prophets. However, it is strongly associated with Christianity, which makes it hard to recommend. But it is not exactly prohibited, so you could use it if really, really wanted to. But don’t be surprised if other Muslims do not approve of your choice.
