Help[Opinions] Re: Kirsten or Kristen (m)
in reply to a message by Lily
I've known women named Kirsten / Kirstin, Kerstin, and Kristen / Kristin. Oddly they have all been natural or dyed blondes and may have all had blue eyes. All of them were in good shape, athletic, and feminine in a sensible not over the top way. These names don't seem old or dated since all or most of them I know are in their mid-30's or are younger.
I had a Kirsten in my high school class who was best friends with a girl named Cambria who was also blonde and blue eyed. I at first use to always confuse who was who.
In high school I had a neighbor across the street named Kerstin and I forget her husbands name but they had a son named Ethan. They gave birth to him a few years after moving to the neighborhood.
I know at least one Kristin / Kristen. The one I for certain remember lives two or three blocks away from my parents. Her husband Phil is an old family friend. They have been together now for many years though and just earlier this year had a baby girl who they named Antonia. I've been told by my family that she is so very cute. I can't wait to meet her.
I personally prefer the names Kirsten / Kirstin and Kerstin over Kristen. But I like all three names though none are my style. I've met Kirsten's who pronounce their name KEER-stin and some pronounced KUR-stin and some with a pronunciation that sounds in between the two. I like all pronunciations and I can't choose which I prefer.
My favorite spellings are Kirsten followed by Kirstin and lastly by Kiersten. I don't like the spelling Kyrsten. If you pronounce the name KUR-stin then my favorite spelling is Kerstin. I feel that Kerstin is less confusing than Kirsten because sometimes I'll see it and accidentally think the name is Kristen. The same thing sometimes happens with Kristen where I'll see it and accidentally think their name is Kirsten. But it's not really a big deal, just slightly awkward for a moment.
