Deffo Tristan but I prefer it spelt this way Trystan

Think I prefer Christian though both are nice.

I don't think people would necessarily immediately think of Christianity. No one looks at Christian Slater and thinks 'must be a religious maniac'... (I think very different thoughs )

I am bias because I called my little one Tristan after the same debate, I liked both Tristan and Christian but decided on Tristan because it was more unusual x

I like both but prefer Christian.

Tristan.

Personally I am avoiding all overtly religios names and names which are very Biblical (i.e. names whose meaning contains or refers to a God).

I really like both. Would have liked one of those names for my son but neither sits well with our surname.

JeMeSouviens · 22/04/2010 23:40

Dislike both immensely

Tristan.

Christian. By a long shot. The only thing that puts me off it is it's a bit of a statement name. I wouldn't like to think my child was SO obviously from a Christian background. NOT a shamed of it but it certainly nails your background to a highflying mask. NOT a big deal really though.

Still Christian.

Neither

Tristan sounds so sad as it always reminds me of triste...
