- ahartmetz 3mo agoSurely. The name is pronounced like Creighton.
- nemesisj 3mo agoThe name rhymes with "frighten". Source: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/crichton https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/crich... Also a Source: Name is Scottish origin, I live in Scotland.
- ahartmetz 3mo agoI mixed up German and English pronunciation of "ei". The German one sounds like English "i", so it would be Crighton.
- marssaxman 3mo agoAlso a source: back in the '90s, I once resolved a disagreement with a friend over the pronunciation of the man's name by emailing him to ask, and "Crichton rhymes with 'frighten'" was his exact answer.
- mike_hearn 3mo agoYes, my mistake!
