Kirsty

What are your thoughts on the name Kirsty?

What is the negative association?

Kirsty has a negative association as bad as adolph?

Kirsty is nice, and underused.

My daughter is Kirstie. Scottish spelling even though we're not from North of the Border!

A bit dated.

I love it

I think it’s pretty, know a few older ones but not many young ones?

A girl called Kirsty tried to get with my husband- so
Not keen hehe x

Not a fan, but that's only because I know three Kirstys, who are all not nice people.

I really dont like it. But i could be biased having known quite a few horrible ones including my first childhood best friend, forever negative association! I prefer the 'ie' spelling though. Lots of much nicer names out there.
Want to know the PPs negative association?

I've never liked this name. It's quite harsh sounding to me.

I agree it sounds harsh. And a bit like 'krusty'.

I like it for its Scottish connection. I looked at Scottish/Irish/welsh names as they reflected our collective parents. Didn’t use in the end mainly as SIL had same name altho she went by a nickname

It's a bit Sharon or Cheryl to me.

Smashing your kids screens is bad, but I dont think it makes one as bad as Hitler, despite what ive said above !

What's the negative association that's as bad as Hitler?

I like it. We have a Kirsty at work and she is the kindest and funniest person I've ever met. (and no, I'm not her!)

Very popular here in Scotland. Know several. Equating Kirsty Allsopp to Hitler is unbelievable.

I love it! Not sure what the negative connotations like Adolf are???

So Kirstie Allsopp is being compared to Adolf Hitler. Not a huge fan myself but really? I assume that's a joke?

Personally I think of Kirsty McColl, the legend that she was.

I quite like Kirsty. Traditionally it was the Scottish short form for Christina, apparently. I like that too.

I love kirsty/kirstie and Kirsten as well.

I think it's Gaelic for Christine, but I could be wrong. Spelt differently though.
