It's different, and kind of cool, but it does remind me of the word Tertiary.I've never seen this name before. I think I may prefer it written than how it actually sounds out loud though...TURR-sha.The name Trista has been on my mind lately, which I think has a similar feel, but I fear too many people would be confounded by it and mispronounce it as Trisha.Tristan on a girl might be cool, like a variant of Kristen, but I usually don't like the idea of stealing established boys names to use on girls (since society has a terrible problem of teasing boys who have unisex name as having a girl's name).

I love Trisha.

I personally can't stand it. From your list I think Enid works perfectly as a middle, uncomfortably old-fashioned and sorta awkward.

The -tia ending is intriguing.For ancient numerical names, I love Septima most.

I'm not a fan. I wouldn't scream and run away, but I wouldn't use it either.I had a colleague once who was known as Tessa. Her actual name was Tersia, which works OK in Afrikaans, and she was indeed her parents' third daughter. They'd had a boy name ready, but felt let down and flustered and just went for Tersia: but, she said, the more they got to know her and love her, the more Tersia turned into Tessa!
