Talk to me about Tristan

[PracticalCat]

please. I'm stuck for a boy's name. I like Tristan, but I'm not sure how popular it is. I'd also like to know what people think of it - does it feel nice or not? Is it a heavy name for a little boy?

I love it. It's my dp's name but I've always liked it.

hate it. i knew two when i lived in sw london. really wet and drippy.

My brother is called Tristan, he is not mean nor has he ever been bullied! I think it's a great name, original without being too odd. We call him Tris which is good too.

i like tristen think its lovely! had a crush on a really hot guy called tristen when i was about13.

I have one, so I love it (now aged 2), and people always comment on what a lovely name it is, and where did I find it from. He's the only one I know - which is what I was aiming for .

Don't like the 'triste' part - just sounds sad to my ears .

I do like it a little (All Creatures Great and Small, Isolde and etc).

However, think has gone slightly downmarket in recent years.

I think Tristan is nice, and also love Tristram as an alternative

No no no. Another vote here for falling into the wet/drippy/silver spoon class of name. As MrsMattie said, in the same league as Quentin, Crispin etc

ahhhh missed opportunity to use christmas smilies

I love Tristan. I also love Quentin (not at all keen on Crispin, though!!).

None of the Tristans or Quentins I know are 'wet' or 'drippy' but lovely, popular boys/teenagers.

The only one I ever knew was smart and athletic, very popular, but I thought his name didn't really suit him. Can't put my finger on it.

I think it's a bit of a "wet" name, if that makes sense.

I couldn't imagine fancying anyone called Tristan.

My brother is called Tristan (he's 27 now)& I have always loved his name. It's a strong name & I have never known another local to us so quite unusual. Love it love it love it!

p.s.. and he is a handsome, smart, masculine kinda guy, not drippy or wet! lol!
