I think Tristyn is the perfect spelling for your little girl! I personally don’t like Ezra for a girl. If you want other suggestions like Tristyn and Ezra here you go:

Kristen
Esme
Evie
Grayson
Saige
Ryder
Fallon

If you want to recognize her gender, why give her a name that’s in the top 100 for boys and not even in the top 1000 for girls? It’s going to sound the same no matter what spelling you use.

Trista has the same general sound and would be recognizable as a girl name.

How about Trista? Honestly, if you give her a boy name, she’ll constantly be clarifying her gender when she’s older. Life is hard enough, don’t make things more difficult by giving her a boy name that’s misspelled.

I think Tristan is perfectly fine for a girl because it rhymes with Kristen, but that’s just me. I make exceptions for certain names but I’m not one to support naming a girl Michael or James like these new parents are into.

I looked up the numbers out of curiosity and all the spellings you’ve listed are more common on boys than girls.

For 2014, which is the last year we have numbers for, this is the gender breakdown:

Trystan - 171 boys vs 16 girls
Tristyn - 94 boys vs 63 girls
Tristen - 548 boys vs 44 girls

And for the original spelling:

Tristan - 3872 boys vs 61 girls

These numbers came from ourbabynamer.com which gets it’s numbers from the US Social Security Admin. So if you’re not in the US, the numbers in your country will be somewhat different.

You could also go with Beatrice nn Tris.

Lol about the rhyming thing. Seth also rhymes with Beth and Leo rhymes with Cleo and Basil rhymes with Hazel. Yet people don’t generally name their daughters Seth, Leo and Basil and expect that people will know that they’re girls.

Whatever you do, spell the darn name properly. Otherwise, it’ll look low-cl[removed]orry if I offended anyone).

TRISTAN
GENDER: Masculine
USAGE: Welsh, English, French, Celtic Mythology
PRONOUNCED: TRIS-tən (English), trees-TAWN (French)
Meaning & History: Old French form of the Pictish name Drustan, a diminutive of DRUST. The spelling was altered by association with Latin tristis "sad". In Celtic legend Tristan was sent to Ireland in order to fetch Isolde, who was to be the bride of King Mark of Cornwall.

EZRA
GENDER: Masculine
USAGE: Biblical, English, Hebrew
OTHER SCRIPTS: עֶזְרָא (Hebrew)
PRONOUNCED: EZ-rə (English)
Meaning & History: Means "help" in Hebrew. Ezra is a prophet of the Old Testament and the author of the Book of Ezra

I actually have seen girls named Leo. It’s short for Leonor.... And even Seth on a girl too. And boys named Cleo. Like I said, whatever parents are into these days. smh no rules anymore! Saylor James for a girl? Maxwell Drew for a girl? Wyatt Isabelle for a girl? Easton August Anthony for a GIRL? Jagger Joseph Blue for a girl? But that’s in Hollywood-land. Tristan pales in comparison. Girls did take Madison from the boys 30 years ago--and that started with a movie joke!

Don’t look to celebrities as examples and think that’s the norm.....Time for Dad to accept the fact that a DAUGHTER is on the way.

If there are no rules anymore, why are no celebrities naming their sons Eleanor and Heidi? Because girl names are considered wimpy for boys but boy names on girls are cool and strong. No sexism there. Personally I don’t want to play into the narrative of masculine = strength and feminine = weakness.

Love Tristyn on a girl! For all those people complaining that Tristyn is a boy name, in fact it is a unisex name and perfectly fine on both genders. I prefer the name Tristyn on a girl anyways. Also I am one of those people that don’t fit into the majority because I personally love "boy" names on girls!

How about Luca? I’ve always thought that was cute for a girl.

Tristen

Tristyn is the best! What about Kristyn? Trista? Tristal? Beatriz? Kirsten or Kristen? Tristian? Tristiana? Kristiana? Tristye? Tristie? Tristana?
