-< WHAT DO YOU THINK?? >-
-KIERSTIN-
What does everyone think of the name Kierstin for a girl, my younger
sister goes to school with a girl who's name is Kierstin. That
was the first time I ever heard of it and I fell in love with it.
It's pronounced Karestin. I am new to the notes file and would
love to here some opinions.
-Kim-
It's a pretty name but she'll be spelling and pronouncing it for
everyone for the rest of her life. Why not spell it the way it's
pronounced for starters?

| RE -1
Is it pronounced like the "ar" in car or care?
I've seen it pronounced the way you spelled it too, Kir-stin.

| RE. pronounciation
It is pronounced like "care"stin, also I think spelling it like
it sounds is a good idea, I saw it spelled the way I have it spelled
Never thought of different spellings.
Thanks

| Just a thought about spellings
Kierstin says K-ee-rstin
Keirstin says K-ay-rstin like n-ei-ghbour and w-ei-gh
Kirstin says K-e-rstin
I often see spellings like these in names and wish that the namer
had followed conventinal sounds. The most unusual one I can remember
was an Adrian spelled Adrain. It would have been fine if pronounced
A-dray-in but as a result was known as A-drain! (The ironic part
was that he worked in a plumbing related company!)
