Re: Crystal
in reply to a message by Just Jonquil
The earliest Crystal I found was born in the 1790s. It's been consistently in use since then, mostly female but occasionally on males, like the other jewel-names.

I read somewhere, a long time ago so I forget the details, that Crystal had a history of use on males in Scotland, "because" it was considered or used as a form of Christopher.
Have you seen anything to support that? I don't recall seeing it more than just that once, so it might be a flight of fancy.
