Very skinny with glasses and floppy hair. Sweet but wet.

Crispin Hunt from Kula Shaker.

You can tell I came of age in the ninetiesBlush

Very posh. Of the boarding school variety!

Rebecca36 · 08/09/2018 20:31

I think of someone for whom I worked years ago, who had a lovely son called Crispin.

My wanker & thick but posh BIL. Please don't.

Quentin crisp. Would associate it with someone who may
Be quite eccentric or flambouyant!

Ilovewillow · 28/08/2018 18:12

I think of my husband, he wanted to call both of our children Crispin it they were boys, thankfully the first was a girl and I managed to dissuade him when our son was born! It does sound a little wet and I fear open to ridicule!

AlliKaneErikson · 28/08/2018 18:05

A little thin boy with curly blond hair and blue eyes who is a bit pale and also a bit posh ; I swear I must have seen something on TV or read something when I was young to have something so specific in mind?!!

binkyblinky · 28/08/2018 09:50

Awful name, sorry! The poor boy will be ridiculed !

MerryMarigold · 28/08/2018 09:47

Thanks Fourfried. You are right about Crispin.

AsleepAllDay · 28/08/2018 09:38

Posh boy

FourFriedChickensDryWhiteToast · 28/08/2018 09:37

no Tarquin's dad was not called Crispin, Crispin was one of "the Critics" along with Natasha.
I think Tarquin's dad was called Quentin, but I can check later...:)

Well DP is a Crispian. Obviously goes by Cris. State school all the way and not at all posh.

His considered opinion 'fuck no, don't do it to the poor kid' Grin

He spent school as 'rice crispy'.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 27/08/2018 22:35

Very posh, a bit wet.

I knew a family of 4 brothers called Crispin, Julian, Lucien and Simon. Even at 6 years old I thought Simon had come off the luckiest.

Joeybee · 27/08/2018 22:21

Unfortunately I have bad associations with this name because I went to school with a horrible kid called Crispín.

To me it just sounds horrible - 'Crisp-In' - just sounds harsh and a bit pompous. I suppose you can get Cris as a nickname, which is okay. Also I suppose it's good that it's not popular, there won't be another Crispin in his class. Also I think this name suits different types of people - can see a blonde Crispin, a Brunette Crispin, a nerdy Crispin, a sporty Crispin.

MerryMarigold · 27/08/2018 22:17

Actually was Tarquin's Dad called Quentin? I've lost my memory. Anyway I'd lump them all together in affected poshness.

Thisimmortalcurl · 27/08/2018 22:15

Ultra posh so if you are then fine but if not a life of being taken the mick out off.

MerryMarigold · 27/08/2018 22:12

Immediately. Viz. Crispin was Tarquin's Dad. He was a right wet weekend.

Twolittlebears · 27/08/2018 22:11

I suggested it for my DS and was laughed at by DH

Derpy84 · 27/08/2018 22:08

Sounds like a brand of chicken nuggets but, with that said, I'm a teaching assistant and I've haven't met a Crispin yet so there's that I guess ?
