"Actually, there's nothing WASPy about it, rather it's an arriveste ethnic's notion of WASPY."
Exactly, like all the unfortunate little girls that got stuck with "Crystal" (Krystal?) while "Dynasty" was on TV.
A REAL lattes-n'-limos mom would probably spell it "Kristyl". Horrendous misspelled are "inventive" and "chic".
Indeed. Although, just to confound things, I have a friend of impeccable breeding and education who named one of her daughters "Krysti" to the horror of her entire family. Oh, well, that husband didn't last....
