Tristan or Quentin

[HolyMusicalBman]

Wondering which one is a better name for a boy. Surname ends in -Ton or -Ley. Thanks in advance.

I'd say Tristan.

Definitely Tristan

Tristan
Love the name

Love Tristan!

Not Quentin.

Tristan

I think both names work fine with the - ley ending, but neither for the -ton!

Tristan

Tristán!

(Sorry, my phone thinks it's Spanish.)

Tristan was on my list too, love it

Tristan, lovely name

Tristan

Quentin is such a drippy name

Love Tristan

Quentin.

Definitely Tristan. Quentin reminds me of the stern scientist uncle from one of the Enid Blyton series (either the Famous Five or the Secret Seven).

if surname ends in -ton, won't Tristan sound a but rhymey?

(we loved Annabel but surname also ends in the -elle sound so was a no go)

Tristram? Crispin? Lorcan?

Tristan. Not Quentin.

If you picked Quinton, then you could shorten it to Quin?

Quentin is one of my favourite names, you could use Q for short, like Quentin Coldwater in The Magicians. Isn't Tristan really common? I don't know any babies, but I know several adult Tristans.

Everyone seems to want to call their kids Tristan, Quentin, Rupert or Tarquin these days,...choose something that has a real meaning for you and that you really love, not what will sound 'posh' (because you will achieve the exact opposite as these names are now so common).

I really don't like Quentin but think Tris is quite nice as a nn for Tristan or Tristram.

@ElectraBlue Quinten is outside the top 900 names and Tristan is outside the top 200 and on a huge downslope so looks set to leave the top 250 in the next year or so. These names really are not common and infact are declining in numbers year on year. (Source: official government ons statistics)

Tristan is my favourite by a mile by the way. I love it

Both lovely OP.
