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

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

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

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.

Dynasty or stripper, sadly.

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)

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

LadyAntonella · 27/04/2016 13:15

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.

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

LadyAntonella · 27/04/2016 12:30

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

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.

SummerGreanland · 27/04/2016 12:27

I like Crystal

Only1scoop · 27/04/2016 12:21

Prefer Christie

Always think of shoulder pads with Chrystal

Whathaveilost · 27/04/2016 12:21

I like it.

AlleyCatandRastaMouse · 27/04/2016 12:19

Very 1980s Dynasty for me. Sorry.

MarieJeanne · 27/04/2016 12:19

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