I love it .

Tiny bit dated for me but a lovely name

I've got a Kirsty.
Its classic in Scotland and just a bit 80's everywhere else.
It would be good to see a Kirsty revival though

I love Kirsten.

I really like it, but then I do love all 80s names like Keiley, Stacey, Lauren, Nicola.

My DD is 17 and is Kirsty. She's beautiful. So I think it's a beautiful name because of my own beautiful daughter. A lot of English people are really snotty about the name but it's strong and reflects my Scottish family, as my dad is Scottish. If you love it, go for it, but some people can be really rude on here about names.

I love this name!

I like it. It is an 80s name but I met a toddler called Nicola and a 8 year old called Danielle recently so it's nice that my childhood friends names are coming back.

First time I've ever seen my own name suggested on one of these places. Interesting to hear what people think.

I only know of older kirsty's, not come across a baby one as yet.

Kirsty bullied me at school, it’s sad but I can’t see the name past that horrible person

SnowdropFox · 28/07/2019 08:11

Lovely name. I knew a number (there were 4 in my class alone in primary school) since I was born in the 80s in Scotland it's not a surprise!
The only young Kirsty I know is 7 now.

Kirsty was the name of loads of brassy girls in school so reminds me of that and it's also plain and bland sounding.

MadisonAvenue · 28/07/2019 08:58

I was at school with a Kirsty who wasn’t very nice at all so that spoils the name for me.
She’s now an estate agent.

AverageMummy · 28/07/2019 10:21

Sounds dated & not in a posh way - maybe a similar vibe to Danielle? I’ve only known lovely Kirsty’s though which I feel I need to throw in to counter some other experiences above!

MyBeloved · 28/07/2019 10:23

I've only ever known lovely Kirsties.
