Help[Opinions] Re: Kristen
in reply to a message by Lily
Hahaha, I thought I was the only one who liked Kristen on this board! I love that name. It's friendly and down-to-earth, as you say. I have met a huge number of Kristens and Kristins, and a Kirstin as well. I've met many more Kristen / Kristin / Kirstins than Kristine / Christine/ Christina / Kristinas. I don't automatically think it's a religious name, but if it were spelled Christen, I would assume it's more religious (and it doesn't look as pretty, IMO).
I think it depends on the name. If the name has the word Christ in it, and if it's rare, I assume it's religious. Like, if I met a Christiana, I'd assume her family was maybe a little more religious than a girl named Kristi. If the name is more common, like Christopher, it isn't necessarily as indicative of that in my book. If it's spelled with a K, it's not really a religious image that comes to mind. Kristina, IMO, would be less "religious" than Christina.
One name in that category that I really love that gets very little use is Krista. It's a little lighter than Kristen, but I like it a lot.
