Just reminds me of the advert Crisp n dry.

I like it

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 10/05/2023 22:09

I love it and considered it for my boys. They are aware of this and loudly laugh about Crisp Bin and how pleased they are not to be called that, sadly.

I have heard worse but you’d do better with Casper or Corin or something

soundsys · 10/05/2023 22:47

I like it.

My 3 year old has a doll called Crispin. Short for Rice Crispin...

@savemefrommyboobs you mean like Crispin Blunt MP??
Crispin and Cosmo are completely different to the other names you've mentioned

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 11/05/2023 18:17

Rice crispies.

Prefer Christian, Casper or Caspian

I used to work with a Crispin - a lovely guy and extremely posh. It's not to my taste though

Lol at the similar threads associated with this one 😂

One at school (not a posh school and no one teased him)

There was one at my (not at all posh) school, not in my class so I don't know if he got teased or not. Surname was Cockman ... probably not the best combination.

Apart from that, 'Crispin' just brings the rousing St Crispin's Day speech to mind, which isn't a bad association.

Casper makes me think of Casper the friendly ghost.

Makes me think of Crispin Bonham-Carter, loved him as Mr Bingley in Pride and Prejudice. I have always liked it as a name but wouldn’t be something I’d use personally.

HumanBurrito · 11/05/2023 21:33

I was at school with a Crispin who was horribly, horribly bullied so it's a no from me.

Camillasfagwrinkles · 12/05/2023 08:34

Insufferable. Very stereotypically posh.

Camillasfagwrinkles · 12/05/2023 08:35

Keir is a nice name.

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 12/05/2023 08:37

Makes me think of crispy bacon.

PurpleReindeer2 · 12/05/2023 09:00

It's a no from me. There are much better names you could choose.

TallulahBetty · 15/05/2023 12:55

Might as well call him Tarquin and pre-empt an email to the school anti-bullying lead.
