Let's talk about my name! -Kraɪst




Kraɪst 
The name Christ begins with the onset of the voiceless stop of the letter "K" that begins in the velar and continues into a liquid voiced "R" stemming from the alveolar, followed by the dipthong "AI", (which beings low and ends high) exactly the same as the word eye, and closes with the fricative voiceless "S', that comes from the alveolar and lends itself to the easy finish of the stop in the voiceless "T", also formed in the same part of the mouth.

From the back of your mouth like "kuh" push out the sound of the letter "k" then round your lips and flatten your tongue against the bottom of your mouth, and let the air release the sound of "R" rrrr like the r in rice, and make the hissing s sound and finish it with the snap of your teeth like something annoyed you.
