Kirsteen

[1Maya2]

Kirsteen, what do people think?

Christine, Kristen, Kirsty

I know its a 'real' name but it does sound like a muddle!

It's a bit ponderous. I like Kirsten, which sounds lighter.

Prefer the sound of Kirsten or Kirsty.

no

If you remove the extra unecessary E you've got a decent name.

Kirsten is nicer IMO (lovely in fact), but then I'm not a big fan of 'een' endings on names!

Kirsten is far nicer, Kirsteen looks 'made up'!

Have you added the extra E because you want people to pronounce it
Ker-steene - like the way Kathleen ends? If that's your reasoning I personally don't like the 'een' ending and the way it sounds. Kirsten with a singular 'e' sounds much nicer regardless of how you pronounce the first syllable - because people will either say Kerr-sten or Kyier-sten.

I thought it was spelt Kirstine?

But I agree with others that Kirsten is a prettier version.

I like Kristin.

NOOOO, it sounds like a bastard mix of Kirsty and Christine.

Don't call the poor kid Kirsty or anything similar. That is my name, and I hate it It is such a horrible name, and I get called Kirst (to rhyme with cursed) all the time, and spent all me teenage years being called Krusty the Clown

I went to school with a Kirsteen, in Glasgow, and she was of Highland stock, so to speak.
I like it. But it got mispronounced a lot by non-Scottish people.

On GetOrf's point, my 4yo dd spent a whole wedding calling a Kirsty Curtsy. We thought it was kind of cute...

Christa was the name that caused most confusion at school. We never knew if it was Christa or Kirsta... I was made to stand with my hands on my head at dinner school for getting it wrong...

I know 2 in their late 30s. Both known as Kirsty.

My aunt's partner is scottish - she is very insistent that nobody south of the border can pronounce my name properly. Something to do with the rolling of the r's

I like Kirsten - lovely, classic and currently underused name.

But I like Christina even more actually.

Christina or Kirsty.

Thanks for all comments. Promise you I haven't made it up, It's definitely a real name. I'm Scottish and I think it's used more here where I live than Kirsten (highlands). I suppose names are often quite local. I think I still like it, any more Scottish views out there?

It's definitely a real name, lol I have to say I don't particularly like it though, it's a bit dated I think, not in an old fashioned making a comeback kind of way, but more in a I'd hear it and expect a forty year old way.

I do like Kirsty though, lol

God, no. Kirsteen? Are you having a laugh?

Sounds like a synthetic fabric.

"Lovely curtains. Are they kirsteen?"

Sorry I think it is terrible...knew one about 10 years ago and she was awful too so maybe I'm biased...Kirsten is so much nicer!

Not keen on Kirsteen, sorry.

Prefer Kirsten or Kirsty - or even Krista but Kirsteen just doesnt sound right!
