Cruiz

[NEM2]

opinions on the name cruiz for a boy

How are you pronouncing it? Differently to Cruz, I assume?

How ever is it pronounced? If it’s related to Cruz and derived from Spanish, I’d say Crew-eeth.

If it’s made up - no idea. Or is it supposed to be an edgy spelling of ‘cruise’, and pronounced like that?

Either way, it’s a no from me.

I have never heard of this name, unless it’s a spelling of Cruz. A dear friend called her boy Cruz and I struggled to know what to say as I think it’s awful. I know it’s quite popular so I don’t want to offend but to me it’s silly, a gimmick, not an actual name.

A different spelling of Cruz pronounced cruise
I know of two ,one spelt Cruze and the other cruiz

I don't like it myself. It just seems weird to me to take the Spanish/Portuguese word for "Cross" and spell it wrong. Unless there's a cultural reason behind it, it comes across as a bit tacky (sorry).

I would go with Cruz to avoid confusion.

Croo-EETH?

Not even unique then

Oh, I was saying Crew-ese one Ruiz

No.

It will be misspelt
It will be mispronounced
It will be sneered at - like it or not.

Just no. He is not a holiday boat.

Cruiz pronounced like Cruise,

It’s tacky and it looks daft.

Unfortunately it just looks misspelled...

I thought it was Croo-iz

Hard pass from me. Agree with others - it will be misspelt and mispronounced the kid's entire life.

I would have said Cru-iz without guidance. Seems a name fraught with difficulty.

It's Spanish, are you? Otherwise you'll look daft.

Cruz is a Spanish girls name (it's one of the Appellations of the Virgin)

So use with care if you live in a diverse area. But as it might raise eyebrows, may as well go the whole hog and raise everyone's by spelling it Cruiz

Nope.

I’m thinking this is how the register will be called initially.

I'd pronounce that "croo-is"
If you like Cruz, just use Cruz, it doesn't have to have a different spelling.

Misspelling names is really chav. If you want to call him Cruz then call him Cruz. I would guess that everyone would assume he is named after Beckham's kid but at least it's an actual name.

Choose Cruise or Cruz, not a mish mash of the two.

I'd go for Cruz, personally. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm a Tom Cruise fan.

It’s not a name.
