Do not chooiz cruiz

Calliell · 24/01/2023 02:49

Just the connotations of ‘cruising’ makes this a bad name

Figgygal · 23/01/2023 20:55

All versions of it are utterly Ghastly imo

everythingsapickle · 23/01/2023 20:52

No!

Well this is according to the Urban Dictionary.

Nope.

FurAndFeathers · 23/01/2023 19:56

Did you learn phonetics at school @NEM2 ? Cos that spells Cru-iz

and it’s awful

HedgeWench · 23/01/2023 19:54

Awful.

MaireadMcSweeney · 23/01/2023 19:52

Cruiz would be pronounced crew-iz or crew-ith. Not cruise.

trieditbuyedit · 23/01/2023 18:23

Awful

picnicshnicnic · 23/01/2023 18:21

Struggling to see what you like about it Op

Outfor150 · 23/01/2023 18:15

It’s not a name.

mathanxiety · 23/01/2023 18:04

Choose Cruise or Cruz, not a mish mash of the two.

I'd go for Cruz, personally. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm a Tom Cruise fan.

Choconut · 23/01/2023 18:04

Misspelling names is really chav. If you want to call him Cruz then call him Cruz. I would guess that everyone would assume he is named after Beckham's kid but at least it's an actual name.

ShesThunderstorms · 23/01/2023 17:58

I'd pronounce that "croo-is"
If you like Cruz, just use Cruz, it doesn't have to have a different spelling.

Sherrystrull · 23/01/2023 17:42

I thought it was Croo-iz

I’m thinking this is how the register will be called initially.

Aworldofmyown · 23/01/2023 17:55

Nope.

AuntieStella · 23/01/2023 17:54

Cruz is a Spanish girls name (it's one of the Appellations of the Virgin)

So use with care if you live in a diverse area. But as it might raise eyebrows, may as well go the whole hog and raise everyone's by spelling it Cruiz

TinyTinyHamsterBalls · 23/01/2023 17:50

It's Spanish, are you? Otherwise you'll look daft.

RaininSummer · 23/01/2023 17:46

I would have said Cru-iz without guidance. Seems a name fraught with difficulty.

cravingtoblerone · 23/01/2023 17:45

Hard pass from me. Agree with others - it will be misspelt and mispronounced the kid's entire life.

Sherrystrull · 23/01/2023 17:42

I thought it was Croo-iz

StormSeason · 23/01/2023 17:37

Unfortunately it just looks misspelled...

EezyOozy · 23/01/2023 17:33

It’s tacky and it looks daft.

Pinkdafodils · 23/01/2023 17:32

Cruiz pronounced like Cruise,
