What do you think of when hear the name Crispin?

[mintich]

Considering it for my son!

I went to school with a Crispin I quite fancied but had completely forgotten about.

Off to bigger SM ponds to see what became of him.

If you all love it then you should choose it.

Bit old-fashioned as well as posh. Don't like it, sorry.

A crow hand puppet that my friend insisted on bringing everywhere for a few months whilst we were at college. 😂

Tbh, I'm not keen on the actual name and just think that, followed by actual crisps which is fine if you don't mind him being called KP or Walkers which he will almost certainly be called of you send him anywhere other than Eton. If you're posh then it might work. If you're not then it will look like you're trying to be. But you probably wouldn't like the boring names I gave my children

Old-fashioned and posh, in the same catergory as ‘Tarquin’ imo!

Mr Bingley!

I think it's awful, OP. Sorry!

Sounds like a brand of chicken nuggets but, with that said, I'm a teaching assistant and I've haven't met a Crispin yet so there's that I guess ?

I suggested it for my DS and was laughed at by DH

Immediately. Viz. Crispin was Tarquin's Dad. He was a right wet weekend.

Ultra posh so if you are then fine but if not a life of being taken the mick out off.

Dark and even
Good old king wensles

Actually was Tarquin's Dad called Quentin? I've lost my memory. Anyway I'd lump them all together in affected poshness.

Unfortunately I have bad associations with this name because I went to school with a horrible kid called Crispín.

To me it just sounds horrible - 'Crisp-In' - just sounds harsh and a bit pompous. I suppose you can get Cris as a nickname, which is okay. Also I suppose it's good that it's not popular, there won't be another Crispin in his class. Also I think this name suits different types of people - can see a blonde Crispin, a Brunette Crispin, a nerdy Crispin, a sporty Crispin.

Very posh, a bit wet.

I knew a family of 4 brothers called Crispin, Julian, Lucien and Simon. Even at 6 years old I thought Simon had come off the luckiest.

Well DP is a Crispian. Obviously goes by Cris. State school all the way and not at all posh.

His considered opinion 'fuck no, don't do it to the poor kid'

He spent school as 'rice crispy'.

no Tarquin's dad was not called Crispin, Crispin was one of "the Critics" along with Natasha.
I think Tarquin's dad was called Quentin, but I can check later...:)

Posh boy

Thanks Fourfried. You are right about Crispin.

Awful name, sorry! The poor boy will be ridiculed !

A little thin boy with curly blond hair and blue eyes who is a bit pale and also a bit posh ; I swear I must have seen something on TV or read something when I was young to have something so specific in mind?!!

I think of my husband, he wanted to call both of our children Crispin it they were boys, thankfully the first was a girl and I managed to dissuade him when our son was born! It does sound a little wet and I fear open to ridicule!

Quentin crisp. Would associate it with someone who may
Be quite eccentric or flambouyant!

Back to the Future! An actor who played Marty's dad.

My wanker & thick but posh BIL. Please don't.
