I named my son Tristan Kendrick and absolutely love the name for a boy. I am not saying one cannot name their child Tristan for a girl, but to me it is definately a boys name. I have heard it both ways and will not criticize anyones choices in what they name their child, however there are several criticisms made in this site referring to Tristan being more feminine and one who names their child this for a boy is creating an atmosphere for ridicule and being considered prissy. I don't agree, obviously and history shows this name has a male dominance and is just another one of those names that are liked so well that one has a girl and wants to use it so therefore justifies their choice by stating it is more feminine and boys with it are prissy.
I like one others post, "a name doesn't make the person, the person makes the name"
