The Kristin I know is perfectly suited for this name. In my mind this name is *super common*, but when I think about it she's the only one I actually know. I like it, I think it's just feminine enough without being too girly.
Classy name.
Always associated with Krissy Taylor for me.
Kristin Erin Taylor aka Krissy Taylor, model.
1978 to 1995.
The sudden and steep rise of Kristin after 1979 can be attributed to Kristin Shepard, a character from the popular American television series "Dallas" (1978-1991). The character was first introduced in January 1979. She died in 1981 of a drug-induced accidental drowning, after which the name Kristin sharply declined in the US name popularity statistics.Sources:

Kristin is my name. (Pronounced KRIS-tin) With all honesty, I don't like my name and I never really have. There is nothing beautiful about it and it doesn't sound very feminine to me. It sounds a bit harsh to me. I'd like to say my name has meaning to me but that's just not true. My mom named me Kristin so that she could call me Kris. She wanted me to grow up with a cute semi-masculine or "little boys" nickname. Unfortunately no one ended up calling me Kris. It never caught on. I don't think the name fits me and I wish my mother had thought of something different. Every time I introduce myself, my name always gets repeated back to me for clarification, only no one gets it right the first time. It's always "Kristi?...Christian?... Kristine?" I stopped correcting people. I'm usually just given special nicknames by everyone.

I like the name Kristin better then Kristen. It's a nice name, especially this spelling. I like the nickname Kristie as well.
This is my name and I have mixed feelings about it. I like that it honors my Swedish heritage and fits with my last name, but at times I've thought it was a harsh-sounding name. Also, it gets misspelled frequently (most often as Kristen) and that drives me nuts!
Never thought it was a real name. I find it very uncommon and a little weird.
Kristin is my name, and my mom wanted to spell it Christine after her cousin, in honour of her Franco/Algerian heritage. My dad being Norwegian wanted the Scandinavian spelling, being Kristin. The pronunciation is supposed to be Kris-teen, it just sounds melodic when being pronounced in Scandinavian countries as well as France.
What drives me nuts is that Anglo-saxons just have a very rough way of saying it and it sounds more like Krisss-tiin. If you're going to go with that version and live somewhere, where people have simple names, keep it simple is my thought! With that said, I wouldn't change my name for the world.
My name is Kristin and I have had to tell people my entire life that it is pronounced Kris-tin not Kris-chin. Other than that, most people just call me Kris.

Kristin is my name, and I was given it to honor my Norwegian heritage. It's the name of the protagonist in Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter novels, which she won a Nobel Prize for in the 1920s - it's historical fiction set in medieval Scandinavia. In Norway, Kristin is the feminine spelling and Kristen is masculine, though in the States Kristen has gotten to be the more common spelling (though it was pretty even when I was born). My relatives in Norway pronounce my name pretty similar to the way we say it in the States, which is KRIS-tin (though the "r" is sort of rolled in Norwegian, kind of like a soft "d"), not like Christine (which is how people said it when I lived in France). I like my name - the only downside is how frequently people misspell it, when I prefer Kristin over any other spelling by far!
I normally don't like 'Chris' sounding names, but I really like Kristin. The spelling and the sound seem very happy and cheerful to me.
