Tristan or Tristram or Tristen is a given name descending from Welsh Drystan, influenced by the French word triste and Welsh/Cornish/Breton trist, both of which mean "bold" or "sad" or "sorrowful". It owes its popularity to the character of Tristan, one of the Knights of the Round Table and the tragic hero of Tristan and Iseult. Alternate form Tristram has also been in use since the Middle Ages and was the more usual form of the name after the publication of the 1759-60 comic novel Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. Later usage of the name Tristan was influenced by Richard Wagner's 1860 opera Tristan und Isolde. The name Tristan became particularly well-used in the United States by parents who had attended college after it was used for a character on All Creatures Great and Small, a 1978 British television series based on the memoirs of James Herriot. The popular series aired in the United States on PBS. The name Tristan later became popular with parents of all classes after Brad Pitt played Tristan Ludlow in the popular 1994 movie Legends of the Fall, and also increased the usage of variant spellings Tristen, Tristin, Triston and Trystan, all of which also appeared among the 1,000 most popular names for boys in the United States in 1995. Usage of the name also increased after Tristan was used for characters in the 2006 film Tristan & Isolde and the 2007 fantasy film Stardust. Tristan has been consistently among the top 1000 names given to baby boys in the United States since 1971. The name has been used in the Anglosphere and in other countries such as Belgium, France, Iceland, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, and Spain.

It comes from the Irish surname Ryan, which in turn comes from the Old Irish name Rían.

According to John Ryan, Professor of Early and Medieval History at University College Dublin, "Rian, like Niall, seems to be so ancient that its meaning was lost before records began."

Garrett is a surname and given name of Germanic and of Old French origins. It is one of the many baptismal surnames to have been derived from the popular given names of Gerardus, Gerard and Gerald in 12th-century England. Both of these names were taken to Britain by the invading Normans and are the Old French versions of ancient Germanic personal names. The name Gerard is composed of the Germanic elements gēr or gār and hard, while Gerald is composed of again gēr or gār ('spear') and wald. Although Garrett remains predominantly only a last name in the UK and Ireland, elsewhere in the English-speaking world it is also a common first name.
Evan is a Welsh masculine given name, derived from Iefan, a Welsh form of the name John. Similar names that share this origin include Ivan, Ian, and Juan.

While mostly male, the name is also given to women, as with the actress Evan Rachel Wood or White House Cabinet Secretary Evan Ryan. It may also be encountered as a surname, although Evans is a far more common form within this context.

Goldie is a nickname or given name used in reference to an informal English diminutive word for gold or an English version of the Yiddish name Golda or Golde, also meaning gold. It was often used as a pet name for a girl with blonde hair. It is also used as a nickname for formal names such as Marigold. It has a “vintage vibe” for some parents who have considered it. Other commentators note that the name has risen in use for girls along with other names of a similar style that all exude cuteness and promote enjoyment, perhaps in reaction to serious times. The English expression good as gold is often used to describe people who act virtuously and, in the case of children, are well-behaved.
