Keirsten ~ variation of Kirsten which is Danish for Christian
I did not want Kirsten. I wanted Keirsten to sound like (keer-sten) rhyming with deer. I broke the English language barrier by putting the e before the i. This was done so that when one looks at the name, it is easily prounouncable.
Keirsten is now 6 years old and almost daily we are complemented on her beautiful and unusual name.
