I like it a lot. I know a 7-year-old
Tristan. Tris is like
Chris, seems as ok and natural.
The only "problem" is that
Tristan rhymes
Kristen and people have been using it for girls. However that would not stop me from using it if it were my favorite name. I do not think
Tristan will become a mainly female name.
It's not a personal favorite because the consonants are too light for me to really love it enough to use it, but anyway thumbs up.
