Help[Opinions] Re: Tristan
in reply to a message by Christa S.
It just SOUNDS male to me. Really, really male. As male as Christopher, Matthew, James.
You say it sounds feminine because it rhymes with Kristen. I guess I don't get that connection because I've always seen Kristen as one of the least feminine names out there. It reminds me of Christian, which is also super male-sounding. And Tristan and Christian also rhyme, so there's even more of a male association for me.
*Shrugs* I do personally know two male Tristans. But throughout my life I've also heard of female Tristans, which has always made me think, "Really? But that's so... manly."
