Help[Opinions] Crispin
I thought it was quite a goofy name, but the guy who took my order at Panera Bread was named Crispin. He was probably like 40. Anyway, seeing it on an actual person made it seem not so bad. I think it has a nice organic feel to it.
What do you think of it? Combo ideas?

as a food company name maybe, but not good for a person
I think it sounds like the name of a store or snackfood company or restaurant... not a person.
I'm getting pictures of Keebler Elves and the "nothing says lovin' like something from the oven" slogan (dif. co.)...
Yeah... the name's all food to me... except for the meaning (which would be ironic on a kid whose hair is straight as a pin) and I don't think it would be easy for a lot of people to separate the name from food connotations... unless of course, their first thought was something like eye crispies or crunchy snow or dried manure or "crispy critters" or something, but some of those are worse than the food connotations.

I've never thought goofy: off-beat, yes. And I think I prefer Crispian, though I'm not sure why. I'd like to see either on a living person!
Wasn't there a folk group back in the dawn of time called Crispian St Peter's?

Meh, it still makes me think of "cracklin' old timey" type cereal...

Yes, Crispix. :)

It reminds me of Crispin Bonham-Carter, who played Mr. Bingley in the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. &hearts
Unfortunately there is also super creepy actor Crispin Glover. Yecch.
It does make me think "crispy." Hehe. But that's more silly than outright prohibitive to me.
I suspect I would like it more if I met a real, live Crispin and had a more grounded and normal association with it. It's neat, in its way, if not a little eccentric.
For combos I would roll with that stuffy English feeling and suggest maybe:
Crispin Albert
Crispin Roderick
Crispin Edward
Crispin Mathias
Crispin Charles
Crispin Francis
Crispin Frederick
Crispin Bennett
Crispin Laurence
Crispin Gerard
Crispin Cedric
Side note: I searched Bonham-Carter on Wikipedia and his children are Kit, Arthur, Stanley, and Frank. Too cute.

Francis w/ just about anything?... hmmm...
Methuselah Francis works... wouldn't use it, but it works... Perhaps the fact that most names don't end in the f sound helps that... Jeff/Geoff Francis doesn't sound so lovely, but Geoffery/Jeffrey Francis could work. It definitely fits w/ many names soundwise anyway.

I didn't used to like it much, but Crispin has definitely grown on me. I think it's nice, and unexpected.
Maybe Crispin Grant or Crispin Everett?

Crispin Everett is very nice! And I don't like Grant, but Crispin Grant somehow sounds good. I guess with Grant as a mn rather than fn it makes me think more of Cary Grant.

Yeah, I guess it's organic, since it makes me think of the word "crispy". For that reason, I don't like it.

Maybe you followed the same logic I did... Crispin, crispy, crunchy, organic. :)

Crispin is probably not a name I would ultimately use. But I would think about using it and smile. :)
I feel the same way about Caspian.
