There was a character named Cricket on "As The World Turns" back in the 80s, when I used to watch the show. I kind of liked it at the time. It's cute. I still kind of like it, but only as a nickname, I can't see it on a birth certificate. But it would have to be the kind of nickname that is unrelated to the real name, and it would seem kind of dumb to do that, put a totally unrelated name on the birth certificate all the while planning to call her Cricket. My father had a totally unrelated nickname, but that was because he was named after his father and it was to avoid confusion.
