My+Name+Inquiry+Project

 __KRISTEN__  Kristen is a form of Christine in English. In Danish it’s the male version of Christian. It was born in Scandinavia as a male name. The westerners adapted it as a female name.  In the past it meant Christ bearer. Today when my name is said, girls think of the twilight saga. When my name is typed into Google, we see pictures of an awkward actress. Kristen is a popular name for anyone born in the 90’s. There aren’t any Kristen’s in my family so for the family it’s unique. My mom wanted a baby girl, but she wanted a boy name. My dad wanted a girl with a girl name. Therefore, my name is similar to both, Kris is what my mom calls me while Kristen is what my dad calls me.With the name Kristen, you are versatile and compatible. Apparently you want to be in charge and are a leader. Impatience is something Kristen’s must deal with but we are good at taking control of situations.  There is no one that has a hard time pronouncing my name, which I am grateful for. There are a few variants of the pronunciation though. Some people pronounce it as Christian and some like Christine but most people just pronounce it as Kristen.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Who in the 90’s was born

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Popularity arose in the 90’s

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> but now it’s becoming less prominent

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Will my name fade out

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> or will it again become popular?



This is my visual for my name. This is my hand writing when I was 5 in my first bible. I think that this is a good representation of my name because it is so uniquely written.
