First name for a girl "Tristan"? Also middle name suggestions?

How in the world is Tristan trashy? You are descended from King Mark, aren't you?

It's not only a boy's name, it's the name of a man in a famous love story. It's like naming your daughter Romeo, or Lancelot, or Abelard. Don't do it.

She's going to spend her life saying, "Not Kristen, Tristan."

Triste means sad in Spanish and French. Tristan is a sad name. There is a famous Luis Bunuel movie called Tristana about a girl who has her leg amputated by her abusive husband. Tristan is a depressing name.

I went to school with a Tristine. I would use that or Trista over Tristan for a girl.

Completely agree. For anyone knowing French or Spanish (and probably other Romance languages), or German (where trist is also another word for sad), the name Tristan has this association, Wagner's opera and its literary predecessors notwithstanding. I would never choose this name for my child, boy or girl.

What on earth are you thinking? Awful name for a girl.

Tristan is borderline trashy for boys (more than one 16 and Pregnant teenager chose it), and is Toddlers & Tiaras territory for girls.

This made me LOL. It is as if there is a 'quota' for names. OP- Go ahead and take whatever name you want. My DD's name is Dylan. Five years later, we still love it, and no poor boy was harmed when we took his name.

Trash, for sure.

Wow. People never agree on DCUM, but we seem to be united in hating this name for a girl.

Ditto. OMG, are you so fucking stupid that you think this is a good idea?
