Help[Opinions] Re: Kirsten
in reply to a message by vigdis
I like it.
I had three Kirstens in my class in high school. There was a Kirstin, a Kirsten, and a Kierstin. Then I worked with a Kirsten who was about my age. I think all of them pronounced it KEERstin / KEERst'n. People are easily taught correct pronunciations. But like with so many names, they do have to be taught.
I guess it seems dated about like Kristen does, but it doesn't strike me as a name that was a huge fad despite knowing so many the same age... because those are all the Kirstens I ever knew, unlike with Christine/Kristen etc.
