[Opinions] Re: Cressida
See Ari's comment below. Cressida seems to be one of those names that authors and screenwriters think was always common among the British upper classes, when in reality no one before the Roaring Twenties a century ago would have thought it was appropriate to name a daughter Cressida, because it basically meant "unfaithful wife" to all educated English speakers before then.
