We havent come across any other Lakens in New Zealand yet, when people mishear me and think i've called her Katelyn, I tell them It's Lake with an n.

My name is Kirsten, it was originally suppose to be pronounced k-ee-rsten but because people found it hard to pronounce I go by the pronunciation Kir-sten. Although people still mess it up even with the easier pronunciation. Every teacher'says Kristen which i've never understood because if they read my name there❤️s no r in front of the i and It's bothered me for as ling as I can remember. I sometimes like my name although it just sounds weird like I repeat my name a lot and I'm my head It'sounds soooo weird and I'm not a big fan of the name but I'm stuck with it. I guess It's alright considering It's unique but i don't know it just seems like It'sounds sooo weird.

My name is Kirsten as in K-eer'sten. I like unusual names, but I wish my name was more popular. But other than that, it is also the name of an American Girl book series, actresses have that name, and it is a good name.

My name is actually Kyrsten, pronounced K-eer'stin. I love that not many people have this name, it makes It'seem more special. i've met dozens of Kristie's and Catherine's, but never another Kyrsten. The main problem is the'spelling, but it means people are more likely to remember my name when I correct them. And as for the pronunciation, I just stopped correctly people that I only meet once. If their not going to use it, don't make a big deal out of it. The only issue is there aren't many nicknames. Yes, Kyrst and Kyrsty. So my friends made up the nickname Kyr Kyr, which I love also.

My name is Kirsten, pronounced Keer'sten. As a child I didn't like my name, I thought it was long and weird. As i've gotten older, i've grown to love it. I didn't know any other Keer'stens as a child, but have been hearing that pronunciation more often as an adult. I like that it has a danish origin. In Denmark, it would be Kjrsten, with the j as the ee sound. That is unique and pretty cool, to me. :)

My name is Kirsten and sometimes I hate it! Its never pronounced right and everyone asks me if I was named after the doll! I am 28, so no! It is a good way to test if someone thinks you are important to them... they will pronounce it correctly, if they care. Case in point after 4 years my boss still pronounces it wrong. When i have a to go order I usually use my middle name, Ellen, so that a "Kristin" doesnt take my order. (that has actually happened)

My name is Kirsten, pronounced Ker'sTEN. I really like the name as it is unique but not unusual. I think it is beautiful for both a child and adult - it looks professional on a business card. I have only met two Kirstens, and one is now a good friend. The most common mistake people make is to call me or write my name as Kristen. I have also been called many other derivations including Kristie, Christine etc.

Hey , It's Kirsten, and It's K-er'sten or K-ur-sten NOT KIERSTEN OR KRISTEN! Dude I really really reallly do NOT like my name!

I don't understand how anyone can give the name Kirsten and expect it to be pronounced Kiersten. If they want their daughter to be Kiersten, then'they should name her Kiersten, not Kirsten-- I get really annoyed when people don't say my name right too...especially if i have to correct them over and over. But I love the name, and would never want to change it! Thats inter'sting that'some people spell it Kirstyn. I never thought of that, but its cute!!! GO KIRSTEN! --Kirsten 2000--

My 9-year old daughter is Kirsten. I love it. We pronounce it Kur-sten. My brothe's made fun of me when she was born because she doesn't look at all Germanic - she has beautiful dark chestnut hair and huge dark brown eyes. We don't care, though - this beautiful, feminine-yet-strong name completely suits her.

HI'my name is Kirsten, not KRISTEN! Every time I go somewhere for the first time or some new teacher comes to school, they call me Kristen! I hate it! And you know how you can get things with names on them, well there is almost never anything with KIRSTEN but there's always KRISTEN and KRISTY. But besides these two things, I think It's the best name ever!

Hated having this name growing up. I do like unusual names, but too many people misspelled it or said it wrong. I had to correct people every day and that got old. Plus people would forget and become afraid to say my name b/c I had already corrected them. Sounds like a nice name, but it wasnt fun to have!

I was born in the mid 1962s - the lowest end of the'spectrum for parents naming a girl Kirsten. (Pronounced Kearstin). When I was 13 I realized that I didn't have a "normal" name - Many, including my English teacher pronounced it wrong. It rhymes with EAR or BEER. I love my name now - and glad that my parents chose to give me a unique name for my era.

People are lazy so instantly assume my name is Kristen or Kirsty. I'm English and pronounce it Curse - Ten . It would sound wrong with my accent to pronounce it Kearsten (sounds too american). Not a popular name in the north of England , so enjoy being unique.

My name is Kirsten, pronounced Ker'sten. In school every teacher would either'say 'Kristen', 'Keer'sten', 'Christine' or even 'Krista' for some reason. It can get very annoying when only people who have known you for years are the people who can say your simple name correctly. i've only met a few other Kirstens, children and adult. It DOES work well throughout life, it makes you easy to identify and can sound professional or fun depending on the'situation. I love my name, it is unique and fits me well.
