I grew up with a Kirsten. Her father, who was Danish, said it so beautifully: like "keersten" but with these beautiful, crisp, crystalline sounds that made me think of birds - not keeeeer like in a piercing way. But everyone else called her "kurrsten". Which was still kinda cool? But I preferred keersten.

It's not something I'd use, but I enjoy it.
