Public school, floppy hair.

Also makes me think of Quentin Crisp.

School nickname Crisp?

George McFly from Back to the Future.

Orthopaedic shoes.. because there's a big company near me called Crispin and that's what they produce!

Singingitoverandoverandover · 22/08/2018 21:09

Crisp n dry
Rice crispies
Crisps.

And that it’s a posh name

DixieFlatline · 22/08/2018 21:09

CRISPR here as well. Grin

Needsleepneedsleep · 22/08/2018 21:07

plateofbiscuits no it wasn't a haircut that did it! Just a horrible man shudder

Sunflower321 · 22/08/2018 21:07

What's posh about Crispin? The sound, the letters, what Confused? How is it different to Christoph or Christopher?

SuperstarDJ · 22/08/2018 21:06

It’s a name that really gives me the heebie jeebies for some reason. I’d imagine any Crispin to be really sleazy, slimy and lispy. It’s strange as names don’t normally give me such a strong negative reaction!

ScreamingValenta · 22/08/2018 21:05

I like it. It suggests a person who is organised and authoritative.

museumum · 22/08/2018 21:05

Too posh for me I’m afraid. It’s nice enough and you’d fit in at public school but might make it tough to work in a more working class environment even as a student. I’d class it with tarquin.

Sunflower321 · 22/08/2018 21:03

Crispin Bonham-Carter! Love him.

MrsSquiggler · 22/08/2018 21:02

Crispr, the gene editing technique

PlateOfBiscuits · 22/08/2018 21:02

@Needsleepneedsleep I’m assuming it wasn’t a terrible haircut that did it?!

GrannyHaddock · 22/08/2018 21:02

Quentin Crisp.

MysweetAudrina · 22/08/2018 21:02

Every day's a fry when you fry with Crispin dry.

mostimproved · 22/08/2018 21:02

Crispin Bonham-Carter who plays Bingley in the BBC Pride & Prejudice - love him!

AsMuchUseAsAMarzipanDildo · 22/08/2018 20:59

Annoying posh people

ExpectingToFly · 22/08/2018 20:58

Posh twat Grin

chronicallyawesome · 22/08/2018 20:56

I think it's quite posh - of the Rees-Mogg school of naming children. But everyone will have views that are different, if you love it go for it

LethalLola · 22/08/2018 20:55

Crispin Blunt Hmm

secretnutter · 22/08/2018 20:55

I love it! I had a pony called Crispin 🐴 so I have very fond thoughts when thinking of the name!!!
