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

Sorry, no.

How about Christa or Christabel?

Chandler: (Coming off the phone) Okay! We have our stripper, a Miss Crystal Chandelier!

Joey: Well sure, if you name a kid that, what do you expect them to grow up to be?

Wonderful choice OP.

Elegant, beautiful, stylish, graceful. Is there a more wonderful name than Crystal?

Ankleswingers · 28/04/2016 07:16

Reminds of Dynasty- Crystal Carrington.

Awful IMO. Sorry op.

Stripper's name. Asked my dd who is 14 - she just said no.

catkirk · 28/04/2016 07:07

You'd have to go the whole hog and use Crystal-Jade as pp suggested. What an amazing name.

KERALA1 · 28/04/2016 06:52

Stripper or dynasty

ApplesTheHare · 28/04/2016 03:20

I have a close friend called Crystal and she hates it. She's very well educated and has a great job but people have been very unkind about her name and she's had to actively tackle a lot of prejudice at work because of it.

DMHiresIlleterates · 28/04/2016 02:03

And by hooker, I mean it's the name all hookers in movies give to their Johns. Maybe it was glamorous in the 80's. It's horrendous now by association.

DMHiresIlleterates · 28/04/2016 02:02

It's a hooker's name.

Quasilulu · 28/04/2016 01:53

My OH's grandad has had Westie since he was a boy and all of them have been called Crystal. I can't get past that I'm afraid.

GraysAnalogy · 28/04/2016 00:41

Horribke

Alisvolatpropiis · 28/04/2016 00:39

It wouldn't be my choice.

MiddleClassProblem · 28/04/2016 00:37

Crystal is a 90s stripper with pastel pink hair and a rose tattoo. Having said that names change their connections over time. When she's a teen it could be the name of a superhero or president

oldlaundbooth · 28/04/2016 00:33

No, just no.

Charlotte is a nice name. Similar.

A4Document · 28/04/2016 00:32

I like it.

Crystal Tipps and Alistair was a great programme. Crystal Tipps had Smile

LunaLoveg00d · 27/04/2016 23:15

Very 80s pornstar. Don't like it at all.

CruCru · 27/04/2016 23:00

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

MangosteenSoda · 27/04/2016 22:52

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.

midsomermurderess · 27/04/2016 22:47

Reminds me of a tacky Australian I know.

mrsschu · 27/04/2016 21:22

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

Bohemond · 27/04/2016 19:40

Dire - sorry

DerelictMyBalls · 27/04/2016 19:33

Lovely name.

manicinsomniac · 27/04/2016 19:17

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.

RortyCrankle · 27/04/2016 18:08

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