Not a fan. I think Zelda is better.

Zelda and Cressida seem more fashionable, and it doesn't quite have the grim fortitude of Griselda or the delicate flair of Crisálida or the briskness of Kelda.
But it's not bad really.
I'd probably spell it Kriselda.
I guess Kristilda could also work.
Fits in ok with: Xiomara, Romilda, Corisande, Melizand, Imelda, Casilda, Clarimonde, Prunella, Erlinda, Cleotilde, Rosamere

Better than Griselda!
But too much like it, for me to really like it. I might like it if Griselda didn't exist. As it is, I would tend to pronounce the S as a Z because of Griselda.

It's listed, or Chriselda is listed, as being used in South Africa, but I've never seen it so far. I have mixed feelings about it. I don't much like Griselda - since grizzling is sulky complaining or crying, it rather puts me off though I do like medieval names for fun, in general. And I don't mind Christine, Christina etc on other people. So the best I can say is, Criselda looks lighter and more suitable for use in today's world.
