Cressida

I think this would be a classy way to get Cress or Crescent as a nickname

I really like this one. Better than Ophelia, imo.

Your description made me love the name Cressida even more! :)

I love it! It's the name of my favorite author, Cressida Cowell!

Mustard and cress.

I can only think of egg and cress sandwiches, I'm sorry to say. If I put that aside in my head, I can see it's a lovely name, but that's all I'll be able to associate it with.

I have a feeling there is a company that makes blinds & awnings called Cressida

cray-SEE-da (the A like the A in Car)

Cressie drove me nuts as a child lol x

How would you pronounce that please, i never knew that! X

My name is cressida, i go by cress for short and although its v.uncommon it is memorable. If you want your child to embrace her individuality then its kind of a great choice. She'll never blend in but the best people stand out 😉 x

This name reminds me of crunchy lettuce 😷

I also love Cressida.

I love the sound and idea of Cressida, the meaning of it is nice, and it sounds feminine and spunky. Not sure how usable it would be IRL though- it would maybe sound too stuffy/ posh British/ crazy things "out-there hippies" name their kids (as my mom would say it)? I still think it's gorgeous though, and how cute would the nickname Cress/ Cressie be? (the name might even become a nature name with the Cress NN)

Cressida Bonas dated Prince Harry for a while.

This name sounds similar to the Spanish word 'crecida' meaning 'all grown up' (feminine)

Love this name.
