Thinking about the name
Crispin
Latin origin
“Derived from the Latin Crispinus, meaning 'curly-haired,' this name has been borne by saints and has old-fashioned, literary charm—famously used by Shakespeare for a character in 'Henry V.' Crispin conveys an antiquarian, intellectual quality with vintage appeal that's experiencing a contemporary revival.”
