Mr Bingley! Grin

I think it's awful, OP. Sorry!

Miyah · 27/08/2018 09:55

Old-fashioned and posh, in the same catergory as ‘Tarquin’ imo!

ScoutAtticus · 27/08/2018 09:54

Tbh, I'm not keen on the actual name and just think that, followed by actual crisps which is fine if you don't mind him being called KP or Walkers which he will almost certainly be called of you send him anywhere other than Eton. If you're posh then it might work. If you're not then it will look like you're trying to be. But you probably wouldn't like the boring names I gave my children Wink

A crow hand puppet that my friend insisted on bringing everywhere for a few months whilst we were at college. 😂

Bit old-fashioned as well as posh. Don't like it, sorry.

I went to school with a Crispin I quite fancied but had completely forgotten about.

Off to bigger SM ponds to see what became of him.

If you all love it then you should choose it.

A boy at school who was horribly bullied and eventually changed his name.

EmmaC78 · 25/08/2018 00:00

I don't like it at all. It is a really odd sounding name.

WhatFreshHellisCis · 24/08/2018 21:14

Rice crispies Blush

Daddy day care!

Crispy bacon!
God I'm so hungry right now!

"Ohh yeah that bacon is crispin up nicely"

when i hear it i think Richard Armitage, it's his middle name and he seems an okay type of chap. Also it's the name of the patron saint of leatherworkers and cobblers so to me it's someone who works hard and def isn't wet or floppy. I like it.

cariadlet · 24/08/2018 20:39

Don't like it at all, sorry. Much too public school.

ainsisoisje · 24/08/2018 20:18

The singer from Kula shaker and mr bingley actor from BBCs pride and prejudice. I like it but tis a bit posh.

A mix between crisps and aspirin

EdWinchester · 24/08/2018 20:13

Utterly mimsy. Probably with a wet bottom lip.

Sorry.

Merrz · 24/08/2018 20:11

A mix between crisps and aspirin Confused Wouldn't of even known that was a name

percheron67 · 24/08/2018 20:08

I like it. A strong sort of name. Only one thing, my friend had a super and gentle German Shepherd with the name. Wouldn't put me off though. He was a smashing soul.

GraceMarks · 24/08/2018 19:34

Someone who guffaws instead of laughing.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 24/08/2018 18:38

Sounds like one of Walter the Softy's simpering pals to me.

By the way, did The Beano get anywhere with the cease-and-desist notice that they served on Jacob R-M ordering him to stop impersonating their copyrighted character?!

MeMyselfand · 24/08/2018 10:12

For some reason it feels like a creepy name to me. He will need to be thick skinned or eccentric to pull it off unless your mega posh then who gives a toss

MonkeyToucher · 24/08/2018 10:04

This is totally random, but there’s an episode of Jonathan Creek where he makes a joke about someone called Crispin:

“ have you met my boyfriend Crispin? He has 2 penises and his own airline...”

So it’s totally ruined for me - sorry!!!

toothtruth · 23/08/2018 21:37

The actor. And yeah it does sound quite 'toff' but also fun and unusual.... Hed have to have quite the personality to pull it off! If its likely that he will seeing as his family are all pretty 'out there' then go for it... but I think if theres any chance he will be a very shy self conscious type then maybe best not!
