Cricket the sport and Cricket the insect totally rule it out, I'd say.

Prince and Satin are equally cheap. I knew a Lucky once: his mother was about to be beaten up by her husband, a rather regular event, but this time she had to go into hospital instead and have her son ... which was lucky, so he was Lucky. Ashana sounds fake.

I would use Cricket as a nickname, but not as a full name, I think it's sweet, but a little too baby-ish and too open for teasing about insects.

Prince Lucky just seems tacky.

---

Satin Ashana makes me laugh because my friend and her boyfriend used to joke about naming all their children after fabric. I would not use it.

I have known one Cricket, which was short for Mary Katherine. I think it's kind of cute as a nickname, but far too silly to be a full given name.

I also know a woman named Lucki, which is her given name. Her granddaughter is also named Lucki.

-sigh- I'll just stop posting today. Everything seems to be posting more than it should.

Cricket...I'd only use it if for some reason I became an even bigger Buddy Holly and The Crickets fan.

I've always despised the name Cricket, and I know two--though one just has it as a nickname.

I would never use any of those names.

There was a character on a soap opera here in the US named Cricket, and another 'named' Lucky. I don't know if they're on the same show. I think they work better for stories than in real life.
