On "Gilmore Girls", what is the first name of Rory's biological father?

On "Gilmore Girls," Rory's biological father's first name is Christopher. Christopher Hayden is Lorelai Gilmore's former high-school boyfriend and Rory's father.

Christopher and Lorelai become parents while they are teenagers, but they do not marry or raise Rory together. Lorelai instead leaves her parents' wealthy Hartford home and builds an independent life for herself and Rory in Stars Hollow. Christopher remains an important, though often inconsistent, presence in both their lives.

His relationship with Rory develops unevenly over the series. He sometimes tries to become more involved, including helping with her education, but his history with Lorelai repeatedly complicates the family dynamic. He later marries Lorelai briefly in Paris, though the marriage ends after their unresolved differences resurface.

Christopher is commonly confused with Luke Danes because Luke becomes a dependable, father-like figure in Rory's life and eventually marries Lorelai in the revival. Luke is not Rory's biological father; Christopher is. Christopher is played by David Sutcliffe.
