• Yes
• No

I just came across the name [name_u]Cricket[/name_u], what do you think about it, and would you use it?
What could [name_u]Cricket[/name_u] be a nickname for??

I saw a post similar to this one awhile back and most people thought of the sport or animal, personally for me I love it as a name and it reminds me a lot of other popular ones such as [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] and [name_u]Sinclaire[/name_u]! I don’t think the association are bad to begin with either

Not really a fan of it soundwise, but I think it would make a lovely middle.

Hi there.

I think it’s so cute. I would never been brave enough to use it though. And I never even thought of using it as a nn. [name_f]Christina[/name_f] seems like a good option. [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe even [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/Catriona?

Hope this helps.

Usually Iam very brave on names and especially words, but Iam not the biggest fan of [name_u]Cricket[/name_u]. I think it will make a fab nn though.

I really like the idea of it but I don’t think I could actually use it! It’s very cute though and I like the suggestion for [name_u]Cricket[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Christina[/name_f]!

I’ve always put [name_u]Cricket[/name_u] and [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] together in the category of ‘peppy 60’s doll names.’ I don’t think a lot of people were actually named these in the 60’s but it seems the ‘ideal’ freckled face peppy but sweet girl was always named either cricket or pepper. So that’s my image of the name.

I’d definitely consider it as a nickname, but it doesn’t appeal to me as a full name (but if it did I wouldn’t afraid to use it, it’s just not my style if that makes sense)

I do think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cricket[/name_u] would work really well.

I do like it as a nickname for a c name

Claribel ‘[name_u]Cricket[/name_u]’
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] ‘[name_u]Cricket[/name_u]’
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] ‘[name_u]Cricket[/name_u]’

It could be a nickname for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] perhaps.

I said no, but I think it would be more wearable as a nickname. I think it would also make a darling middle name. Personally though it is not my style

I want to like it, I think its very bold, and could definitely work for the right person… but its not my favorite…

Once I worked at a hotline and someone had called to talk about a matter concerning this friends. I asked for his friends names in order to keep track of the story, and he paused and awkwardly spat out “[name_m]Clay[/name_m] & [name_u]Cricket[/name_u]”… now the nameberry side of my smiled to hear unique boho names (and I LOVE [name_m]Clay[/name_m]!), but I also could feel the gentlemans voice cringe over the phone waiting for me to presumably response to these names.

I’ve never been able to get behind [name_u]Cricket[/name_u]. It honestly just seems ridiculous to me, and I can’t picture it on an adult (or a kid, for that matter.)

Sorry if that was too harsh, it’s just not my thing.

I love [name_u]Cricket[/name_u], even if I’m not fond of the insect. I always associated it as a nickname for [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] but there’s been some great suggestions already!

Cricket is adorable! I would use it, but ONLY as a pet name. I think it can work for any name; it’s more dependent on the child than the name, imo.
