Friendofdennis · 10/05/2023 16:04

I. Too weird and posh

MrsSamR · 10/05/2023 16:04

Awful, sorry. And the nicknames...crisp? Crispy? Noooooo.

It veers toward Upper Class Twit.

jasminesunflower · 10/05/2023 16:05

It's cool, I like it.

9/10

AhNowTed · 10/05/2023 16:06

I like it. I know a Crispin and it's a great name on him.

There's nothing remotely feminine about it. And nobody calls him Crispy 🙄

ItsBritneyBitchhhh · 10/05/2023 16:07

Awful name

Choir exercises for ennunciation:

"Pop a cheese and onion crisp in, pop a cheese and onion crisp in."

I met a Crispin recently and I have to say I did think "poor you". If very posh and good looking could probably get away with it.

Having said that I think these ultra posh sounding names are having a moment so you may be ahead of the curve.

I prefer Caspian.

Makes me think of Narnia! His brother will be Aslan, lol

OMalleysAlley · 10/05/2023 16:18

Hate it.

TanukiMario · 10/05/2023 16:18

Sounds like a cereal to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

overitunderit · 10/05/2023 16:21

Terribly posh but also quite jolly

postwarbulge · 10/05/2023 16:24

Sounds rather Henry V, too

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 10/05/2023 16:24

I like it. A bit on the posh side but not pretentious.

postwarbulge · 10/05/2023 16:24

Only one step down from Tarquin

BounceyB · 10/05/2023 16:26

Definitely not. Don't do it.

ThickSkinnedSoWhat · 10/05/2023 16:26

Crispin dry sorry

This for me too I'm afraid

MumsSleepBetter · 10/05/2023 16:37

I know a Crispin, he is lovely suits him very well

SaveMeFromMyBoobs · 10/05/2023 17:04

Kirsten/kristin (for girl), chris (either), koen, casper, caspien - fine

Crispin? God no. The jokes would be horrendous.

angelicaelizapeggy · 10/05/2023 17:06

Don’t do it
