What do you think of when hear the name Crispin?

[mintich]

Considering it for my son!

I had no idea this was actually a name. I laughed when I saw the thread title 😂😂 it’s awful

My ex wanted to call our son Crispin...Crispy for short Needless to say our son isn't called Crispin/Crispy.
At end of day OP it's your choice but I think some consideration for the child is a must

Crispin's is the name of a Fish & Chip ship near my Nan's.

I think it's an awful name, for many of the reasons previous posters have mentioned.

A butler.

Food. It's a brand of cooking oil isn't it?

My local chip shop!

The actor. And yeah it does sound quite 'toff' but also fun and unusual.... Hed have to have quite the personality to pull it off! If its likely that he will seeing as his family are all pretty 'out there' then go for it... but I think if theres any chance he will be a very shy self conscious type then maybe best not!

This is totally random, but there’s an episode of Jonathan Creek where he makes a joke about someone called Crispin:

“ have you met my boyfriend Crispin? He has 2 penises and his own airline...”

So it’s totally ruined for me - sorry!!!

For some reason it feels like a creepy name to me. He will need to be thick skinned or eccentric to pull it off unless your mega posh then who gives a toss

Sounds like one of Walter the Softy's simpering pals to me.

By the way, did The Beano get anywhere with the cease-and-desist notice that they served on Jacob R-M ordering him to stop impersonating their copyrighted character?!

Someone who guffaws instead of laughing.

I like it. A strong sort of name. Only one thing, my friend had a super and gentle German Shepherd with the name. Wouldn't put me off though. He was a smashing soul.

A mix between crisps and aspirin Wouldn't of even known that was a name

Utterly mimsy. Probably with a wet bottom lip.

Sorry.

Rice crispies

Brilliant!

The singer from Kula shaker and mr bingley actor from BBCs pride and prejudice. I like it but tis a bit posh.

Don't like it at all, sorry. Much too public school.

when i hear it i think Richard Armitage, it's his middle name and he seems an okay type of chap. Also it's the name of the patron saint of leatherworkers and cobblers so to me it's someone who works hard and def isn't wet or floppy. I like it.

Crispy bacon!
God I'm so hungry right now!

"Ohh yeah that bacon is crispin up nicely"

Daddy day care!

Rice crispies

I don't like it at all. It is a really odd sounding name.

A boy at school who was horribly bullied and eventually changed his name.
