I am the first in my family to be born in the United States. My name has always been mispronounced. It really is rather simple. Americans can be so ignorant. There is a big world out there. My last name is ethnic too. Spelled exactly as it sounds. Always mispronounced. Sigh. Krystyna G. (another one)
I am okay with people expressing that they wouldn’t ever use the name because it just isn’t their thing, but calling it downright stupid without any reasoning other than that you think it’s spelled weird is just rude.
I used to think this was a jumbled mess! Now I think it looks better, and the name doesn’t seem as messy as I originally thought.
I always get compliments of how my name is spelled. People are always saying "Oh, I never seen this name spelled this way before." I always say "Yeah, I'm Polish."
Anyone else? If yes put a point (A Like, on the right.)
My name is not stupid.
I never realized it was Polish. I always thought it was more of a Norwegian derivation. My family is Swedish-Irish with some German. I do get compliments on the spelling.
I'm Polish and I love this name!
I am surprised at the negative reactions to this name commented above. Yes, I am partial to it (since it is my name) and it is a logical choice given that I am half-Polish.
I frequently get compliments from non-Poles on the unusual and pretty spelling, although people are surprised at the simplicity of pronunciation. Many non-polish speakers are just overwhelmed by the lack of vowels, but they get over it quick.
I like when people have unique spellings for names. I really do, but this is a bit too much, in my opinion.
EDIT I didn't know it was Polish, sorry. I am an American and I just thought it was another way of spelling Christina.
This is one of my favorite alternate spellings of Christina, since I love Polish names, but unfortunately it will look like (or even unknowingly be used as) an illiterate kreatyv spylyng to a lot of people in English-speaking countries. I do like the Polish nickname Krysia though.
I don't like this unless you're Polish. It just looks slap-happy and dumb. Like you love putting Y in names and it looks like it should be pronounced Kr-ice-tie-na. It's stupid.
It looks nice in Poland, but in English speaking countries it looks like a trendy spelling of Christina.
