Sounds rather Henry V, too

overitunderit · 10/05/2023 16:21

Terribly posh but also quite jolly

TanukiMario · 10/05/2023 16:18

Sounds like a cereal to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

OMalleysAlley · 10/05/2023 16:18

Hate it.

I met a Crispin recently and I have to say I did think "poor you". If very posh and good looking could probably get away with it.

Having said that I think these ultra posh sounding names are having a moment so you may be ahead of the curve.

I prefer Caspian.

Makes me think of Narnia! His brother will be Aslan, lol

Choir exercises for ennunciation:

"Pop a cheese and onion crisp in, pop a cheese and onion crisp in."

Awful name

AhNowTed · 10/05/2023 16:06

I like it. I know a Crispin and it's a great name on him.

There's nothing remotely feminine about it. And nobody calls him Crispy 🙄

jasminesunflower · 10/05/2023 16:05

It's cool, I like it.

It veers toward Upper Class Twit.

MrsSamR · 10/05/2023 16:04

Awful, sorry. And the nicknames...crisp? Crispy? Noooooo.

Friendofdennis · 10/05/2023 16:04

I. Too weird and posh

Redebs · 10/05/2023 16:04

Nope

Goodfuckingriddance · 10/05/2023 16:03

Hellish sorry

Cillmantain · 10/05/2023 16:00
