[Opinions] Re: Tristan
I love Tristan but I don't think of it as "strong". The sound of it is "soft" which is why I like it. I tend to gravitate to "softer" boy names like Gabriel, Julian and Sebastian so Tristan "fits" in quite nicely.

Interesting. I don't find the sound of it soft at all. It is about as strong sounding as it could possibly be, with all the consonants and the -tr-and -st- combinations. So funny how people perceive names so differently. That's why I love this forum and interacting with people here. Thanks for sharing :) I do like Gabriel, too! And I find that one quite soft, as you said, but it is a completely different style from Tristan to me.
Tr- and -st are definitely part of what makes it "soft" for me! Well, maybe not 'soft' because it's a spiky sort of soft, but it's definitely not strong or solid. It's twinkly, sparkly, and glinty. I would also consider Tristan the same style as Gabriel, Julian, and Sebastian!
