About the name Crispin
Shakespeare gave Crispin its finest advertisement in the Saint Crispin's Day speech, and the name has been faintly heroic ever since. It is crisp, a little arch and entirely absent from American charts, which will appeal to precisely the sort of parent who is already considering it.
