No.

It will be misspelt
It will be mispronounced
It will be sneered at - like it or not.

Just no. He is not a holiday boat.

I would go with Cruz to avoid confusion.

I don't like it myself. It just seems weird to me to take the Spanish/Portuguese word for "Cross" and spell it wrong. Unless there's a cultural reason behind it, it comes across as a bit tacky (sorry).

I have never heard of this name, unless it’s a spelling of Cruz. A dear friend called her boy Cruz and I struggled to know what to say as I think it’s awful. I know it’s quite popular so I don’t want to offend but to me it’s silly, a gimmick, not an actual name.

How ever is it pronounced? If it’s related to Cruz and derived from Spanish, I’d say Crew-eeth.

If it’s made up - no idea. Or is it supposed to be an edgy spelling of ‘cruise’, and pronounced like that?

Either way, it’s a no from me.

How are you pronouncing it? Differently to Cruz, I assume?
