So, a friend of mine has a friend who just had a baby boy. They named him Kreston Daelan (day-len) samuel lastname.

I can't say I'm a fan.

WDYT?

It's not all bad, but I'm afraid Kreston will be often mistaken for Preston.

Kreston just seems wrong to me... And it makes me think of crusty. Or Krusty from the Simpsons. Either way, I don't like it. And what would a nn be? Daelan makes me think of really bad form of Dylan, even a feminized version or something, like day and lynn. Samuel is a good solid name IMO.

I think the name as a whole flows well and sounds good when said outloud, but there is no way i would name my own child that. Hmm... whats with people these days?

what the hell is UP with people making up names? oh i know! lets take a perfectly fine name and change the first letter! thats a GREAT idea! ick people. just ick. arent there enough real names to choose from? seriously.

I keep wanting to say 'Crash-ton'. Which is not good.
'Daelen' sounds exactly like the Dutch word for 'parts', so that's a no as well.

On a desperate google search for meaning, I found out from an explanation of a company's name that:
"The name ‘Kreston’ was taken from the ancient Greek word meaning ‘Trust’ or ‘Faith’"
So I like that meaning, but not really the name which reminds me of Crest toothpaste, or a mutated version of Christian, or Kryton...
it's funny how the mind wanders.
All I could find on Daelan was:
"Rhyming variant of Waylon - a historical blacksmith with supernatural powers." but on looking that up,
the mythical supernatural blacksmith was actually Wayland so who knows?

Hey, he can always go by Sam. He'll be fine. =P

My thoughts exactly. I hope he likes the nn Krusty. Day-len sounds like Daylynn - a girl's name. How did she choose these three names?
