Re: Kirstian
in reply to a message by CN
I'm not sure how this is two names in one? I know a Kirstian (or maybe Kirsten?), and she always told me it was the Danish form of Christina. But I do like names like Louisabella and such, they really are fun, I agree. I just found a couple recently that I thought were great - Loubelle and Wilbraham. Loubelle was a character in Sylvia Plath's Bell Jar, and Wilbraham was a figure in the 18th-century art book I was reading. I think he was a member of the british gentry. I like still like Annabeth and Rosabel, Lilibet and so on. There is something so storylike about them.

Hmm... maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was Kirsten and Christian combined. I doubt that Kirstian is a Danish though. It doesn't look or sound Danish.
Wilbraham is very intersting!

Kristian is the Slavic and Scandinavian spelling of Christian.
