[Opinions] Kirstian
I watched a British programme yesterday with a woman in her early thirties named Kirstian. I quite like the sound of it and it's an interesting name. It also got me thinking of other names you could merge into one like Alexandrew (I think I saw it posted here), Louisabella etc. I like to play with words and there's something about the idea that one name is turned into another that I like. You think the name is Louisa, then it's suddenly Isabella. It's fun to say and it's fun to come up with new ones.
So what do you think of the name Kirstian and what do you think of combining two names into one in general?

I'm not sure how this is two names in one? I know a Kirstian (or maybe Kirsten?), and she always told me it was the Danish form of Christina. But I do like names like Louisabella and such, they really are fun, I agree. I just found a couple recently that I thought were great - Loubelle and Wilbraham. Loubelle was a character in Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar, and Wilbraham was a figure in the 18th-century art book I was reading. I think he was a member of the british gentry. I like still like Annabeth and Rosabel, Lilibet and so on. There is something so storylike about them.

Hmm... maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was Kirsten and Christian combined. I doubt that Kirstian is a Danish though. It doesn't look or sound Danish.
Wilbraham is very intersting!

Kristian is the Slavic and Scandinavian spelling of Christian.
