[Opinions] Re: Crispin
It reminds me of Crispin Bonham-Carter, who played Mr. Bingley in the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. &heartsUnfortunately 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 CedricSide note: I searched Bonham-Carter on Wikipedia and his children are Kit, Arthur, Stanley, and Frank. Too cute.

Oh yes, Crispin + stuffy English names is exactly what I think is best! Crispin Bennett might be my favorite of those, aside from Crispin Francis. But that's almost cheating because Francis is just too amazing and makes an excellent middle name for almost anything. :)

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.
