It's my son's name (spelled Tristan). I don't like it for a girl. Have you thought about Trista?

Personally not a fan but if you love it, it's your child and you should name him/her whatever you want!

Okay I'm going to sound really confusing. I think it sounds too much like a boy name. But on the other hand I always thought it sounded too feminine for a boy name as well. I guess you can say I'm not 100% about the name either way. I do like the name Brooke.

I think your DD name Emerson is very cute. Do people consider that unisex as well. I only think girl when I hear that name.



ITA with everything you said.

Re: Need opinions on this name please

i think tristen brooke sounds like a girl...b/c of the brooke obviously, but in reality, most people don't use their middle names. honestly, if i saw a "tristen smith" or "tristen jones" without the "brooke" i'd be apt to think it was a boy.

I like Tristen, but I just imagine it spelled "Tristan" or "Tristian"...something about the e is throwing it off for me.

And particular reason you chose that spelling?



I agree - I think it's a cute name and my coworker has a female friend named Tristan who is in her 30s.

I work with someone who named their daughter Aidan and know a ton of people who have named their daughters Ryan.

I love unisex names, but I don't think Emerson or Tristen are unisex. Emerson is a girl's name, and Tristen/Tristan are boys names. Sorry Chat Icon

I actually love this spelling.
You're definitely going to get mixed reviews, but if you like it that's all that matters. If this baby is a girl we're naming her Dylan.. and one of my coworkers told me she HATED that and it was mean to name a girl that.. I found out from another coworker that the woman who said that, her son is named Dylan, so I guess that's why it bothered her so much.
Tristan- as a female name is actually growing in popularity over the past few years if you look at popularity name charts, only know bc we briefly considered it too.

I also feel Tristan is a boy name and adding Brooke makes it even more masculine to me. What about Tristyn as a spelling. Maybe adding a y would feminize it a bit more. I do like unisex names, but I just am not feeling this as unisex yet.

I love the name but I am thrown of by Brooke if its a boy for a middle name. But I wouldn't think too much on it since it is a middle name.

I really like it!

I think I would spell it Tristyn--not sure why but to me, the 'y' makes it more feminine Chat Icon

My nephew is Tristan, so I automatically think boy when I hear the name.

I agree that Trystin/Tristyn would make it a bit more feminine.

agree - i like it, but i just think of a boy. But then again my sons name is Grayson and sometimes over the phone people assume its a girl, maybe "grace-in", so i say if you like it, go for it! Not everyones going to love youre name choices, you and DH are the only people who matter
