[Opinions] Re: Kristen/Kirsten
in reply to a message by flossie
I love Kirsten. It sounds warm and Christmas-y. I'm neutral on Kristen but it just not my taste, Kristen is also an Indonesian word for Christian.
Kjerstin looks interesting but I'm not into it. For me Tineke sounds like an old/middle-aged women's name as our country (Indonesia) were colonized by Netherlands until 1942. Same goes with Anneke, Mareyke, Linneke, Jultje, Zusje, Dintje, and Vonneke.
