Help[Opinions] Re: Chrétien
in reply to a message by Ani
I'm not good enough with French pronunciation to enjoy it. But it has appeal as a nifty historical name.
Not much as a modern baby name, IMO.
I don't care much for the "kret" sound, or the way Chret- looks.
I'd prefer Christian, Étienne, Gretchen, or Gratien.
Honestly if it were used today by an English speaker, I would think "maybe a non-Christian who likes the shape of the name Christian but doesn't want anyone to recognize it."
