Unknown Share Your Thoughts 10 Comments Tristan Michael Alexander harris Dec 14 at 8:57 am Named him after my grandfather Reply Tiffany Aug 15 at 5:39 pm First name we could agree on Reply Somei Mar 24 at 4:15 am It is one of those names that needs to be growing on you as it’s not very usual. So when I first heard it, I wasn’t sure if I liked it as much to give it my son. It totally grew on me and when I was pregnant the second time I knew I wanted a Tristan. And I love this name more and more. Reply Kory Oct 30 at 12:22 am My husband actually chose it. It meant slot to me that he would care so much about the name. So we went for it. I had always liked the name Christian (all the way back when I was a preteen) and Tristan is pretty close. I also don’t know many Tristans so it makes it more unique. Reply Monica Sep 1 at 11:41 am His Father name is Trenton and he chose the name Tristan for our precious little boy. Reply AE Jul 5 at 3:38 pm Tristan does not mean sad. Some people think this because it sounds like the Spanish word. Tristan is the diminutive of an old Pictish or Scottish name that could only be given to kings, so the meaning on the internet should be changed to little king. My son loves his name and it’s very popular. I named him after the opera Tristan y Isolde and he turned out to be an opera singer and a very blessed child. Girls love his name – I didn’t foresee this when he was a baby lol but his girl classmates always mention this. Reply Elizabeth Williams Aug 17 at 3:22 pm He is a junior Reply Amanda Jun 10 at 12:24 pm I was looking around at baby boy names, since this was my second one. I asked my oldest and my husband on what they thought. They were given 2 different options, Carter, or Tristan.We chose the name Tristan because it was a good strong name. Tristan’s middle name is James, he has 2 uncles named James. Tristan is a very good baby, he loves to cuddle with his momma. Reply Rhianna Campbell Jun 8 at 9:30 am I love names that aren’t on the most popular list! Reply Elizabeth Apr 11 at 3:43 pm Every day I am happy I chose the name Tristan for my son. It is a strong masculine name, but I also feel that it is gentle on the tongue. It is a classic name but not overly popular. I just love this name!
