[Opinions] Re: Kristy
in reply to a message by Perrine
I'm a bit bias but I absolutely hate it. It's the given nn my family has used since birth. My full name is Kristina, spelling they use is Kristi. I've always hated it. During the worst years, my family refused to stop using it which probably didn't help my feelings. While I live with it now, I still hate it. I guess I do like Kristi better than Kristy. And the one thing I've always loved about my name is the K spelling. The Ch- never made sense to me.
I typically think "e" ending is nny and not to be used as a full name. A full name also offers more possibilities if your daughter does hate it as much as I do. But I know a Christina "Christy" who is around my age and never disliked her name. I also grew up with about 7 Kristina, Kristen, Krista in my class and that doesn't include the boys. I know that's not the case these days but it's certainly overkill for a name I have never cared for. I would petty much rather see any other name being used.
