[Opinions] Kristen
WDYT? Very sweet and nurturing name. I like the idea of using Kristen as a mn, even though I don't have relatives with that name. I find it beautiful, although it is dated.

I have learned to enjoy it in an English speaking context but it’s strictly a male name in my country, so that took some getting used to.

Kristen is nice. While it is dated, I wouldn't mind if it made a comeback. Kristen is like the rock loving, electric guitar playing version of Christina.

It's definitely 80s/90s dated and I think it needs a good long break.I think it sounds really harsh.Kiki is not so nice. I love "Kiki's Delivery Service" but I dislike the name. I am pretty sure that many people use it as a slang for the vagina.Kristy is kind of cute but I dislike Kris and Krissy.Kristy by itself is sweet and I think it could make a comeback.But Kristen is too harsh. I also dislike Kirsten.

I think it would work well as a MN because I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets confused between Kristen and Kirsten (and Kristy and Kirsty) for that matter. I knew a little Kristen who went by Kiki which was cute.

I love Kiki as a nn for Kristen, that is pretty cute. I went online and saw an interview of actress Kirsten Dunst who voiced Kiki in Kiki's Delivery Service, one of my all time favorite movies. Kirsten used Kiki as a nickname while acting which was so precious.

I think my immediate connection is to Kristen Stewart, so definitely get more badass / punky vibes (but still lovely and caring in a punk way). I also knew someone named Christen (who definitely did not have kind or nurturing vibes at the time). I think it is a MUCH nicer and gentler name than Kristina or Christina thought.
