Opinions? I really love this name, but is it silly? I love the NN Cryssie too!

Very 80s pornstar. Don't like it at all.

A4Document · 28/04/2016 00:32

I like it.

Crystal Tipps and Alistair was a great programme. Crystal Tipps had Smile

No, just no.

Charlotte is a nice name. Similar.

Crystal is a 90s stripper with pastel pink hair and a rose tattoo. Having said that names change their connections over time. When she's a teen it could be the name of a superhero or president

Alisvolatpropiis · 28/04/2016 00:39

It wouldn't be my choice.

GraysAnalogy · 28/04/2016 00:41

Horribke

Quasilulu · 28/04/2016 01:53

My OH's grandad has had Westie since he was a boy and all of them have been called Crystal. I can't get past that I'm afraid.

DMHiresIlleterates · 28/04/2016 02:02

It's a hooker's name.

DMHiresIlleterates · 28/04/2016 02:03

And by hooker, I mean it's the name all hookers in movies give to their Johns. Maybe it was glamorous in the 80's. It's horrendous now by association.

I have a close friend called Crystal and she hates it. She's very well educated and has a great job but people have been very unkind about her name and she's had to actively tackle a lot of prejudice at work because of it.

KERALA1 · 28/04/2016 06:52

Stripper or dynasty

catkirk · 28/04/2016 07:07

You'd have to go the whole hog and use Crystal-Jade as pp suggested. What an amazing name.

goshhhhhh · 28/04/2016 07:14

Stripper's name. Asked my dd who is 14 - she just said no.

Ankleswingers · 28/04/2016 07:16

Reminds of Dynasty- Crystal Carrington.

Awful IMO. Sorry op.

CrystalMcPistol · 28/04/2016 11:43

Wonderful choice OP.

Elegant, beautiful, stylish, graceful. Is there a more wonderful name than Crystal?

TheDowagerCuntess · 28/04/2016 11:49

Chandler: (Coming off the phone) Okay! We have our stripper, a Miss Crystal Chandelier!

Joey: Well sure, if you name a kid that, what do you expect them to grow up to be?

MissTurnstiles · 28/04/2016 15:56

Sorry, no.

How about Christa or Christabel?

albertcampionscat · 30/04/2016 10:01

Christabel is awesome.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/04/2016 13:44

I do actually know two strippers called Crystal. But then I also know strippers called Charlotte, Georgia, Rosie, Grace, Isabelle, names associated with lovely young ladies. If you like it, use it. Grin

murphyslaws · 30/04/2016 13:50

Sorry but no. Think it sounds trashy. So sorry

Whathaveilost · 30/04/2016 13:59

Some people on baby name pages are just so rude and in considerate.
I know not everyone likes every name but some of the comments are just nasty.

All this about 'stripper' names! I know quite a few little girls as well as older people called crystal and you wouldn't mistake them for a stripper! One of the SENchildren I support is a Crystal and I don't think' Stripper!!'

Jeez!

A4Document · 30/04/2016 14:09

The baby names section is somewhere that people usually want honest opinions. A lot of people might have a negative opinion of a name, but would never say so in real life. So it can be good to know what people may be thinking, but wouldn't tell you.

RiverTam · 30/04/2016 14:11

Dynasty for me though I know that spelt with a 'k'. I find it quite a harsh-looking word.

PestoSwimissimos · 30/04/2016 14:14

Crystal = holiday company

Ludways · 30/04/2016 14:19

Crystal Gayle, anyone? Showing my age?
