What do you think of [name]Kiri[/name]? I love this name and its subtle nature connection, but sometimes I wonder if it’s too short and cutesy to be a full first name and better off as a nickname for [name]Kirrily[/name], [name]Kira[/name], [name]Keira[/name], etc.
Oh, and my current combo is [name]Kiri[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name], if anyone was curious
The name is okay. It may be a tad too cutesy, but there are much worse possibilities out there running around in the world. I had a friend in early elementary school named [name]Kiri[/name]. She had three older sisters and a brother all with K names. I can’t remember them… Much more ordinary than [name]Kiri[/name] though.
If [name]Keri[/name] is perfectly acceptable as a given name all on its own, I don’t see why [name]Kiri[/name] would be too cutesy. If you love it, go for it. I personally prefer [name]Keira[/name], though.
I had a student named [name]Kiri[/name] last year ([name]Kiri[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] actually). It fit her to perfection! She was a slightly quirky teen, but in a good way. I totally fell in love with the name. Yes, she had trouble with people mis-spelling and mis-pronouncing it, but once people met her they got it really quickly. It’s awesome!
I know a [name]Kiri[/name]. She’s really smart and one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever met. Its not my style, but I like it. I think I prefer it on its own rather than short for [name]Kirrily[/name].
I know a women name [name]Kiri[/name] and she wears it well, it doesn’t seem too cutesy on her and I would say it isn’t more cutesy than names like [name]Kallie[/name] or [name]Hailey[/name].
I’d prefer something like [name]Keira[/name] or [name]Kiersten[/name] with nn [name]Kiri[/name]. Honestly, [name]Kiri[/name] is cute but it sounds like a name for a parrot.
I think it is a really cute name, but probably better as a nickname. Depending on the person, it seems like a name that may not transition well to teenage years and adulthood. So having a full name to I guess ‘fall back on’ would be probably be a good idea.
It is a really sweet name with a cutesy sound, so I think that adds to the nicknamey vibe . I adore it, and I think a longer fallback name would be nice. It’s certainly not the worst “nickname name” out there though.
(just read the responses and I am echoing cheele almost exactly)
Thanks for all the responses! I originally liked [name]Kiri[/name] as a nickname for [name]Kirrily[/name] or [name]Kira[/name]/[name]Keira[/name], but I wanted to see what everyone thought of just [name]Kiri[/name] by itself.
