I know a baby Crispin. And a baby Ace. No-one bats an eyelid.

Sounds better the other way around, or

Kit Montgomery

That's just cruel...

YouNeverCanTell · 04/11/2010 22:24

Monty is lovely. But Paul is better!

Why not? There was an author whose real name was Bruce Montgomery, who wrote detective stories under the pseudonym Edmund Crispin.

I know a Crispin (Cris). He's a big bloke as well, not the weedy little Quentin Crisp wannabe that you lot think a Crispin should be [hwink]

DS's middle name is Montgomery. He has a pretty mundane first name though

Eww, Crisp. Now you really managed to put me off. LOL.

Reminds me of Crispin Glover. No bad association imo Smile.

The only thing that would put me off is the nickname Crisp.

I love Monty and Quentin, by the way. Less keen on Tarquin.

Think Will go for Montgomeray as a first name then. Any nice middle names to go with it?

I think Monty and Quentin are fab!

But Crispin reminds me of crisp bread, especially when shortened to Crisp.

to quote summer roberts

'eeeooo'

onimolap · 29/10/2010 18:42

I don't personally like Crispin much (preferring "woody" to "tinny" - anyone else remember that Two Ronnie's sketch?) but there isn't anything wrong with it.

I think Montgomery's fab!

Paul should be used more often. Paul is, well, nice. Yes?

FlumpetMum · 29/10/2010 18:16

Crispin WTF? Why do you hate this child?

GeorgeOsborne · 29/10/2010 18:06

Eww, dont like Gary at all. Keith is ok, but does not go with our family name I am afraid...

OP posts:
kreecherlivesupstairs · 29/10/2010 16:27

Crispin puts me in mind of Quentin Crisp, the naked civil servant.
If I were you, I'd take the advice offered, go with Gary (or Keith)

Well, the thing is, I am foreign, so I usually choose names because I like the sound of them, but never sure how it sounds to others. By the way the oldest are called Elliott and Spencer.

Crispin is awful.

I know a little Monty. Thought it was a bit try hard at first, but it suits him.
