Named our daughter Kiersten, hoping people in Canada would pronounce it properly. They get it right about 1/2 the time. Being of Danish decent, we wanted it to be Kirsten which in Denmark is pronounced Keer'sten but we all know how it is pronounced in North America.

My name is Kierstin, pronounced Keer'stin. I'm 33 years old, and when I was younger I hated my name, because everyone mispronounced it...but as i've gotten older, I have come to like my name :) i've been called Kursten, Kirstie, Kristine, Kristina, Christian, Kristen, Krystal etc...I went to school with a girl named Kjierstin, pronounced the'same way as mine, but that is the only time I have personally met/known someone with the'same name as me.

My daughter is Kiersten, pronounced "KEer'stin." She's named after the title character of the young adult book "Kirsti," who is Finnish & pronounces her name "KEer'stee." My husband's ancestry is partially English so we used the English spelling.
ahh, my name is Kiersten! i love my name now.. but i absolutely hate it when people call me KERR-sten.. ughh
i've had the name for 42 years and people tend to like and respect it. I always tell folks to "smile when you say it" so that it will come out of their mouths correctly. KIER (like the German word for cherry) can't be said correctly if you are frowning or pouting!
We named our daughter Kiley after the band Rilo Kiley. This is why we spell it K-I-L-E-Y
It is my name. People do spell it wrong quite a bit. I have a friend who is named Kirstynn, but It'sounds the'same.

My name is Kiersten, KEEErsten. i've meet only one or two other people with my name. It's always fun to watch people try to pronounce it. I get very happy when'they say it correctly. I love my name and I actually really like how un common it is.
I named my daugter Kiersten, but people say KURSTEN instead of K-EAR-STEN.
I named my second daughter Kierstyn and I love it. We never get a bad response about her name people are actually intriged about it. Sometimes we do get the occational wrong pronouncation, but for the most part people get it correct.

I nameed my daughter Kiersten. I have always loved the name and spelling. I get a lot of mispronounciation, which can be fustrating.
This is my daughters name but we spelled it Lilyen. We spelled it like this because she is named after the flower. Her full name is Lilyen Ella.
My name is Kiersten and spelled keer'sten (: I used to hate my name but I'm starting to love the uniqueness. Everyone mispronounces It'so often'that I turn even when I hear the name Kirsten haha. My friends started calling me Kierstie a few years ago. I don't know if I like it though ;)
I would actually spell it Kierston..just a little different :o)
I love love this name we are having a baby girl and her name is going to be Kiersten...pronounced KEer'sten. Very different! Will not blend in the crowd.
My name is Kierstyn :) I have loved the name'since birth. Of course, this all came with complications. I have to teach people how to pronounce it. It's pronounced KEer'sten. not KIR-sten. "Kier as in steer, not Kir as in fur," as I say. i've been searching so long for a proper nickname'so it would be easier on other people, since most of them have never met a girl with a name'such as mine :)
My name is Kiersten. Most people pronounce it weird. I am 12 now.. I love my name'some of the time! I think that it is a good name!
My daughter's name is Kiersten Ryenne. My eldest son named her, they are nearly 18yrs apart. I was ready to name her Cadance. When he came to see her at the hospital for the first time, he looked down at her, and said, no mom, she looks like a Kiersten.

My name is Kiersten'too! I always get called Kristen and KERR-sten. I love my name! I also think it is very pretty! I think it is very cool we have our own Kiersten comments. ;)
