Thoughts on the name Crusoe

[CleverDeer]

I’ve recently come across the name Crusoe and I really like it especially with the nickname Crue for a boy. Whenever I mention it to anyone they think it’s a bit weird so I was wondering what everyone on here thought of it?

I like the middle names
Crusoe Dean
Crusoe Brooks
Crusoe Jack

And sibling sets I’ve been debating are
Crusoe and Kassian
Crusoe and Koda
Crusoe and Cash
Crusoe and Florian
Crusoe and Foster
Crusoe and Juniper “pip”
Crusoe and Olympia “pia”

They're all 'trying too hard to be out there.'

Don't be pretentious.

Don't saddle your children with names they may well regret when adults.

Crusoe and Cash.

Christ on a bike

No. And another no from my pet turtle.

😂😂😂😂😂

Crusoe Brooks sounds like an overpriced chain restaurant in a shopping centre. Probably in Milton Keynes.

I suppose it’s better than the American man I met the other day. Hoover.

I could hardly keep a straight face.

I love that nobody has come on and told everyone else that they are being mean to the OP, and that it's a perfectly nice name.

I wouldn't do that to a defenceless puppy!!

Because the only person who I can think of who would conceivably name their child Crusoe is Vicky Pollard.

It's really awful.

Listen to these wise people.

All those sibset pairings sound like a matched pair of driving ponies. A nice couple of Welsh greys, all jingling harness and dappled bottoms.

What a delightful image! All brushed to a sheen with polished hooves and wispy forelocks

I totally misread this and thought you were calling your child Canoe

I always think, when I rread these threads, that one day this child will be attending a job interview or ringing up to query his Sky bill or meeting his own child's teacher - do you really want him having to repeat "yes, just like Robinson" wearily, for the millionth time (while cursing his parents!)?

It's awful. Really, really naff.

How many times is he going to have to fake laugh at "Hoover? Damn!" from some 'comedian' 😆

Sorry but no. The poor child will spend his life explaining/spelling his name.

We clearly have very different naming styles, but Crusoe is genuinely terrible and so are all of those names in your "sibling set" list.

The only redeeming feature is he would inevitably be nicknamed Robinson. That and he wouldn’t be called Cash.
Cash! What would his nickname be? On delivery? Only? In hand?

I like it

You do realise that child will be stuck with that name for a long time
( unless they change it asap)

I think it works ok as a first name

Immediately no.

It’s a bit weird, or even very weird

As are the rest of the names on your list

You aren’t naming a 1970s detective duo
