HelpRe: Tristan...wdyt?
in reply to a message by Lissa
Honestly?
Hate it. First time I heard of a boy named Tristan, it was 1 of those "What were the parents thinking to give their boy such a girly sounding name?!" Why would you want to name a kid "sad"? And yes, it does sound super effeminate... like Kristen w/ a T and an a instead of a K and an e or i... sounds really girly imo. I know it's used more on boys, but it doesn't sound like it belongs on them. Plus, it falls into the really trendy names that suddenly became popular out of nowhere in the past decade or 2.
I realize there are plenty of people out there who like it, but most don't give its meaning much thought.
Sorry if it sounds rough, but you asked and it's better for you to know people's thinking clearly before lumping a kid w/ a name like that than after.
