We already have Trista (and The Bachlorette connection is already distinctly fading imo), and we also have the possibilities of Tristina, Tristana, Tristiana, Tristine, etc.

Tristan and its variants have been male names since they were created. To me, they should most definitely be left as male names.

•I love it on a girl! I would NEVER use it on a boy b/c it just...sounds feminine to me. n/t · Elizabeth13 · 12/19/2004, 2:48 PM

•You could say it has the partial meaning "sad" (m) · Elinor · 12/20/2004, 7:53 AM
