I've never heard of a female
Tristan. In fact it's been in the top 100 several times since the mid-nineties for males, but only a few times in the top 1000 for females. So it must be a major coincidence that you've only met female Tristans.
I have met two females named
Trista, which is the feminine version of
Tristan.
ETA: Oh, and I do like the name
Tristan, but I can't see it on a girl at all. It seems very masculine to me.
Trista would be better (although I'm not too fond of that name myself). Also I don't see how it rhyming with
Kristen makes it seem more feminine.
Gary rhymes with
Mary but no one thinks
Gary is feminine (that I know of). :) I really don't like this trend of using boys' names on girls. I don't understand why when there are plenty of strong sounding girls' names out there.
