I do understand Cat. Years of frustration led me never to use my first name again! I cannot recall how many times I had to spell it out to people. I cannot understand why on earth this should happen to a Tristan though. It is not that unusual and way more normal than my name!

I like Fabian. He'd be devastatingly handsome, a bit of a cad with the ladies, live in Paris, write some poetry and recline on a bed of silk sheets whilst smoking the finest Cuban cigars..........

I like Raphael too, with Raf for short.

Quentin also reminds me of Uncle Quentin from the Famous Five.

Sorry Black we are allowed to swear though and after many years of people calling Tristan, Tristian, Triston, Christian and Tristin people do find it harder than I would have believed!

Use Tristan! It's my favourite boy's name but sadly DH has vetoed it... along with Reuben, Fabian and Sebastian.

BlackMogul · 17/09/2013 14:27

Cat... Do you have to swear! Tristan is perfectly easy to pronounce and a great name. Lots of other lovely suggestions here too.

CatAmongThePigeons · 17/09/2013 14:05

If you do you Tristan, no fucker will be able to pronounce or spell it correctly, I didn't think it was difficult, but apparently it is. Angry

I like Tristan, but Quentin just makes me think of Uncle Quentin, the grumpy scientist from the Famous Five books. I live in a working class area and anyone called Florian would get the absolute piss riped out of them, lovely as it is.
Honor's beautiful.

Or how about Rowan, Florian, Aneurin?

bananamummy · 17/09/2013 13:54

I'm afraid I too think of triste ('sad' in French and Latin) when I hear Tristan. I love Quentin though or how about Fabian?

Honor is lovely.

Tristan is wet.

CatAmongThePigeons · 17/09/2013 13:45

Tristan is lovely! I am biased though.

My T isn't sad at all, stroppy at times granted, rarely sad Grin

Thank you eva Reuben, Quentin aren't quite right and Sebastian has already been used by a great friend.

Honor is lovely!

Tristan is too 'triste' = sad. How about Reuben, Quentin or Sebastian which have a similar feel (without the sadness)?
