What errors exactly? We can't guess..

Unless you created the user as "Christo" you should use christo -
postgresql is case insensitive unless you put it in quotes.

-U is for username, not database name.
Since you're not specifying a database name, it will try to use the
same as the username (which you're passing in incorrectly).
So that's the same as:
psql -U dbname -W -h localhost dbname
which is probably not what you want.
