I think it's a name of someone he wants to impress.

I'd better move this thread to the language forum.

Most likely something like this : カースティー (Kaasutii).

 

[Grandpa Frank]

Makes sense !

I thought it was a British English thing like lorry or boot in place of truck or trunk. My wife's from England and I hadn't heard her use Kristy .

I thought Kirsten was Scandinavian for some reason.

 

[nihonjingoth]

my guess, an educated guess at that is kiirusuchii (romanji)

 

[Elizabeth]

Well, I've actually seen it transcribed as such (カースティー)....so this one should do in a pinch. The thing is to mimic the English "ru" sound as closely as possible without actually having to say it .
