Baby Names

Tristan?

At first glance, would you say it is a boy's name or a girl's name? One student with this name at graduation tonight.

  • One would think that, but when the name was called, I was shocked, it was a girl! 

     

  • As a teacher I have had 4 Tristans in my career.  All boys.  I don't understand where people get girl from this.  It is all boy too me.

  • Boy 100%. Love that name, reminds me of Brad Pitt from Legends of the Fall.  Yum!  Would someone really name a girl that?!?  Sort of like naming a girl 'Joe' to me! :)

  • Tristan = boy

    Trista = girl

    I agree with PP that Tristan comes off as a little feminine, though.

  • Boy. But it's a really weak name for a boy, IMO.

    I too always thought boy until the graduation, and then, when you said Tristen, I could see how it does sound feminine since it sounds like Kristen.
