Help[Opinions] Re: Crystal
in reply to a message by erb816
Linda Evans as Krystle from Dynasty could be the source of your image, maybe?
I have known a few Crystals and they were all really nice, likeable people. Come to think of it, they have all been better-looking than average, too.
I think it's a nice name.
It's a little bit like Brandy imagewise ... I don't think it's tacky (some people do), but I have an expectation that a Crystal is not likely to be overeducated or wealthy.
In my mind, it's in the same category as Amber ... sort of 70s-80s quasi-hippie / romantic style, of the middling class. Also it is like Hazel, Ruby - not a complete novelty name like Brandy was. Similar styled popular names today could be Scarlett, Jade, or Paisley (and maybe in the near future Luna, Nova if they stay popular).

Yes, I think Krystle Carrington plays a huge part in the image I have - but wasn't she a "good girl" on the show, while Joan Collins' Alexis was the villain? I never actually watched the show, beyond a scene where Krystle tackles Alexis into a pool. (Also, let me just say that that is a horrible spelling of Crystal.) It also sounds like you've had better luck with real-life Crystals than I have.
And yes, Brandy still conjures that image for me (Brandi even more).
