I am guessing that Pakled's reference to Isolde has cleared certain people's heads by several thousand feet (especially that of jumpstartme2). Tristan is male, Isolde female. It's a very famous love story. I'd say that "Tristan for A3" makes as much sense as "Romeo for A3", but I suspect that that would be lost on certain of the contributors above, too. "Juliet" for Apollo, anyone?
I wonder if jumpstartme2's daughter is called "Trista"? The Portuguese word "triste", which isn't pronounced all that differently, means "miserable". Odd choice.
And jjroland, if you will insist on naming your daughters after cities in Australia, may I recommend Adelaide? It did, at least, start out as a girl's name (wife of William IV) and there's even a song by Beethoven with the same name, although I suspect he had a different Adelaide in mind.
