She told the outlet, when her mother was pregnant with her she “was getting car work done” when she went into labor. “An attendant at the station was helping her and keeping her calm. Obviously she couldn’t drive to the hospital then, so the ambulance came. I made it to the hospital, but she wanted to name me after him.” The attendant’s name was Chris. “He worked at the Shell station, so she just thought ‘Chris, shell’ — let’s stick them together.
