I like it for its Scottish connection. I looked at Scottish/Irish/welsh names as they reflected our collective parents. Didn’t use in the end mainly as SIL had same name altho she went by a nickname

I agree it sounds harsh. And a bit like 'krusty'.

I've never liked this name. It's quite harsh sounding to me.

I really dont like it. But i could be biased having known quite a few horrible ones including my first childhood best friend, forever negative association! I prefer the 'ie' spelling though. Lots of much nicer names out there.
Want to know the PPs negative association?

Not a fan, but that's only because I know three Kirstys, who are all not nice people.

I think it’s pretty, know a few older ones but not many young ones?

I love it

A bit dated.

My daughter is Kirstie. Scottish spelling even though we're not from North of the Border!

Kirsty is nice, and underused.
