Tristram is one of my favorite names, and I've always thought that, were I ever to have a boy with the name, I would call him Triscuit from time to time as a pet name*.

*Note: I differentiate between nicknames and pet names. (I think I've heard some people use them interchangeably.) To me, a nickname is something someone is called always or often by many people, but a pet name is something only close family use, and it is not used constantly. For example, my name is Lauren, and my dad used to call me Lauren-zini pepperini.

Haha, I will think of that now!
