Boy Names - clicky poll

When you hear Tristan do you think boy...or do you think girl?

I think both. I can find the name feminine as well as masculine...

The only Tristan I think of is from the movie Tristan and Isolde. 

Anyways, I really like this name, for a boy...and for a girl. But we would use it as our boys' name.

Tristan Macaiah (Mah-kai-uh)

But I love my other two boy names too...which one do you like best?

  • You need an other option :)

    I love Tristan but I don't like the way it sounds with your mn choice--sorry.

  • Ok - i've redone the poll now. Lol. I have some other boy names added now :)
  • I also think of Tristan and Isolde, which is kind of morbid and sad.  So I don't think I'd choose it.  I voted for Ian -- good name and you don't see it much!
  • Ya, Tristan doesn't have as nice of meaning as the other names which all have biblical meaning.

    Tristan means tumult or sad...I'm pretty sure it is out! lol

  • I've known girl and boy Tristans so I see it as unisex

  • I think girl when I hear tristan. I like ethan. :)
  • I only think of a boy when I hear Tristan.  I believe it is a boy's name (From Tristan and Isolde) that some people are using for girls now.

  • I think of a boy, because my cousin's son is named Tristan and it's the only Tristan I know. But I would like it as a girl's name too.  My favorite name for a girl is Teagan which started as a boy's name, they're kind of similar :)
