Crystal

[FindingTheRightName]

Opinions? I really love this name, but is it silly? I love the NN Cryssie too!

[MarieJeanne]

I quite like it, although it does make me think of Crystal Tips and Alistair.
Christelle is very common in France.

[AlleyCatandRastaMouse]

Very 1980s Dynasty for me. Sorry.

[Whathaveilost]

I like it.

[Only1scoop]

Prefer Christie

Always think of shoulder pads with Chrystal

[SummerGreanland]

I like Crystal

[TempsPerdu]

Crystal used to be my absolute favourite name when I was about 8 (this was very much the '80s Dynasty era!). It does have a nice sound, but right now I think it comes across as very dated and a bit brash.

[LadyAntonella]

I think it's a bit silly sorry, but could just be me.

[cbigs]

No sorry op it sounds a bit daft to me too. Why not just have chrissie if you like it?

[FindingTheRightName]

Because I don't like it enough. I like the whole thing

[LadyAntonella]

I bet loads of people will hate this suggestion, but how do you feel about Star? I love it and it's sort of similar to Crystal (to me anyway). I think it's so cool and would love to use but DH would veto.

[figureofspeech]

Sorry it is a bit stripper/porn star name for me.

[MidnightVelvetthe5th]

Ha I went to school with a Cristal in the 1980's, she was teased a lot.

Its pretty, but to some it will be a stripper's stage name & not a name for a real child. I like it but for me its middle name territory if at all, sorry.

(I had a thing with jewel names when I was little, all my Sindys were called Sapphire, Crystal etc & I really like it still)

[albertcampionscat]

Dynasty or stripper, sadly.

Lovely name in theory, but the associations aren't great.

Funny the way that works. Rosalind means snake in the grass (I think) and James/Jacob/Jamie etc.. all mean 'supplanter/deceiver.

[TigerLily666]

Don't do it - your child will have never forgive you. Find an alternative!

[Whathaveilost]

I know a few Crystal's of varying ages and they all seem happy with their names!

[RortyCrankle]

Very Dynasty unless we have gone back in time to the 1980s.

[manicinsomniac]

There was a girl a couple of years below me at primary school called Crystal-Jade and I remember thinking it was the most beautiful name ever. I was so jealous.

I still kind of like it. Bit of a 'don't think I'd actually do it but think it's really pretty anyway' kind of name.

[DerelictMyBalls]

Lovely name.

[Bohemond]

Dire - sorry

[mrsschu]

It's dreadful IMO. Very 80's/stripper sounding.

[midsomermurderess]

Reminds me of a tacky Australian I know.

[MangosteenSoda]

I know a Christal and a Krystal and they are both happy with their names. Don't know any in the UK though- it's much more of an American/Australian name to my ears.

[CruCru]

Wasn't it the name of a woman on Rosanne?
