Help[Opinions] All the Tristans I know are male.(m)
in reply to a message by Christa S.
I have an ex-bf who has a nephew named Tristan. And my friend's son is friends with a little boy named Tristan. And there was a Tristan in a classroom I observed who was also male. Plus the myth of Tristan and Isolde (you should see the movie) has me thinking its all male.
I've never met any female Tristans even though I have heard of it being used for females. I have met one Trista though.
Just another sad, sad case of a great male name being taken over by the ladies. *Sigh*

I've never heard of a female Tristan. In fact it's been in the top 100 several times since the mid-nineties for males, but only a few times in the top 1000 for females. So it must be a major coincidence that you've only met female Tristans.
I have met two females named Trista, which is the feminine version of Tristan.
ETA: Oh, and I do like the name Tristan, but I can't see it on a girl at all. It seems very masculine to me. Trista would be better (although I'm not too fond of that name myself). Also I don't see how it rhyming with Kristen makes it seem more feminine. Gary rhymes with Mary but no one thinks Gary is feminine (that I know of). :) I really don't like this trend of using boys' names on girls. I don't understand why when there are plenty of strong sounding girls' names out there.
