Help[Opinions] Pristine?
Would "Pristine" make a good name or does it sound like a harlot name?

I just don't think this works on any level.

a harlot name and also..
Possibly a household cleanser name ("My kitchen was a disaster area till I tried Pristine Plus!") or a toothpaste.
Also, there's the dreaded nn Prissy.

Please no . . .
Quite aside from the fact that it sounds pretentious (it's even worse than "Purity" or "Chastity" in terms of unrealistic pressure on the child!), people won't understand. They'll think it's Christine said with a lisp, or something.
I don't think it sounds like a "harlot" name (I don't even know what sort of name you mean by that) but it's just wrong.

Sounds a bit prissy, like some pompus rich girl. That's just my opinion.

It sounds like a bad nickname for a prissy girl named Christine. Nmsaa.
A bad wound may heal, but a bad name will kill.

Pristine makes me think of a clean, sparkling white toilet. :-/

No, not a good name.
It's like Chastity--it's only going to be true for so long (assuming we're thinking of "pristine" sexually, and inevitably that's where my mind jumps) and afterwards, it'll sound like a joke.
Alternatives: Priscilla, Faustine, Prisca, Priya, Christine, Justine.
