Help[Opinions] Re: To me, Tristan is male. Although I find it sounds more masculine in German than in English. (m)
in reply to a message by Chriss
Very well stated. Thanks so much.
As I stated in a previous post, you will have to forgive my ignorance in the gender of this name, as I have only heard it on girls before. And, it seems that many of you already knew the origin and several references as to why it is a boy's name. I have never heard of these references (ie Tristan and Isolde)... but then again there are several things that I find out are commonly known and I have never had the opportunity to know about them... for instance, an ex-boyfriend was shocked that I had never seen or heard of "The Man from Snowy River" and that my parents were horrible because they had never shown it to me... stuff like that.
So I profusely apologize for my ignorance.,, but I had nothing else to tell me otherwise until now. So thanks to everyone for setting me straight.
