What do you think of Cressida as a girl's name?

It's the Shakespearian connotations that would make this a no-no for me. Cressida in the play is basically a cheap flirt with no staying power.

She's just a survivor and does what she's gotta do!

Hmm. It's a bit on the poncey side, but also quite fresh and green. I like it, on balance, but I don't think I would use it.

Don't like it ATALL but I do live right next to Cressida road, so that may play a part!

Not at all keen. I worked with a Cresso which I presume came from the same root and she wound me up something chronic, so I don't think that helps.
