Kirsty or Kirsten

[Patlovesroses]

Hello, so I can’t decide between these two names. Do you like them or dislike them? What are your general impressions of them? I find them to be quite similar to Kristy and Kristen but slightly prefer Kirsty/Kirsten because names beginning with Chris are extremely common in my experience.

Kirsten. They can then be Kirsty for short if wanted. (I personally much prefer Kirsten anyway. Not a fan of Kirsty).

What about Kirsteen? It's a Scottish variant of Kirsten of which Kirsty is quite often used as an abbreviated form.

Personally prefer Kirsten to Kirsty (but I know a bit very nice Kirsty so that’s probably why 😅🤣) @Patlovesroses

We have quite a lot of those names around here (west Scotland). I also know a Kirsteen. And we have quite a few Christy/Christie here rather than a K spelling

I like them both, and also Kirsteen. Much prefer them over Krist/en/y.

Love Kirsty

I don’t like either name, sorry.

I prefer Kirsten.

I live in Scotland and it feels like a quarter of all women between the ages of 30 - 50 are called Kirsty. It's a nice name though.

I'm a Kirsten but most people call me Kirstie.

It really irritates me when people call me Kristen.

I know a Kirsteen and really like the name. Also like the name Kirsty but not Kristen.

Well one of those is my name and I love it. Haven't met many people with the name actually come to think of it. No-one at school with me in the 90s/00s for sure. And I've never been mistakenly called any other name (that I know of)

I'm a Kirsty. I've given up trying to correct people and just answer to Kristy now. Kirsten is nicer.

There's also Kiersten

Kirsten

Quite like it. They were quite pop in 70s/80s but thus less so.
