Thoughts on Tristan

[HolyMusicalBman]

Saw the name and it clicked, like this is definitely the right name for a boy. I just want to see what you all think, I'm cautious of the meaning but who actually goes around telling people want their name means. Thanks.

I’ve always loved it as a name. Solid, traditional, but you don’t get many. I only didn’t use it with both of my boys because of it’s association with something personal for me.

I think of it as quite a posh name, I’ve only ever met one though and that family was definitely posh.

Always think of Tristan and Isolde.

I really like it and the adult one I know is absolutely lovely, which makes me like it more.

I'm related to one. Its a solid, nice name. The Tristan in my family hasn't got any complaints about it, its unusual but easy to spell and say, a good choice.

Know two who are both lovely

I love it

I love it too!

It's a really lovely name.

I absolutely love it. I have an Isolde, because I so love the opera. Tristan is one of the most romantic names going. It even has its own chord! It’s one of those names that has wonderful historical and artistic associations, but is still a safe name to use in real life, without anyone thinking you’re bonkers. But it’s still unusual enough for people to notice and remember it. Go for it!

I really like it!

I love it. I know a Tristan. He's not at all posh, but he is lovely.

Its a wonderful name.

And Isolde was one the possible names for my daughter.

I'm wondering whether it's more popular in certain areas. I know quite a few in Cornwall (most of them are late 30s, but a few are much younger).

Reminds me of sadness. Triste is sad in French.

One of my favourite boys names, I am surprised it isn’t more popular, I have only ever known one.

Hate it with a passion. No idea why. You did ask

Love it. Dh vetoed it as ‘too posh boy’ 🙄

I like it.

It would have been my name if I was a boy, even thou my godfather said ' you can't call a baby tits & bum'

I love it but sadly the meaning weighs too heavy for me.

Not keen at all

I'm usually a fan of an unusual-but-not-madeup name but I don't like it.
I think it's the All Creatures thing rather than the and Isolde thing.
That's my age, I suppose!

I love it was due to be my sons name but somehow it just didn't suit him.

It's a lovely name.

A great name. Why is it so underused? It's lovely.
