I like the name. A bit frilly, but it's grown on me after hearing about Cressida Bonas. I'm not big on cars, but the only place I've heard of a car model named Cressida is here, and that might make it more appealing to some than saying it's a Shakespearean name.

I love Cressida! I still haven't found the perfect middle name for it. I think something simple, but not boring. So I'm still looking!

My best friend's dream car is actually a Toyota Cressida which makes me like the name even more, actually.

It does sound very pretty! I like it as a name, but unfortunately it was the name of a Toyota or some such car for many years. OK, that's never stopped people from naming their daughters Lexus. There are many names more OTT than Cressida at which nobody even blinks. And it was mildly fashionable in the UK in about the 1970s, I think. So, yeah, why not?

It seems to want mns that are timelessly medieval.

I think it is usable. Cress could be used as a nickname. It may even become more common due to The Lunar Chronicals: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13206828-cress?ac=1&from_search=1

I think Cressida is usable, simply because it's easily pronounceable and it has a similar look to a lot of popular and classical names.
It's not really all that strange, and it comes across as pretty solid and befitting a girl at any age. I'm not a fan of the "KRES" sound, but the fluttery ending makes up for it. It has a kind of goddess-like appeal (I suppose because of it's Greek roots), but it's not heavy or imposing.
