Do you like the name Trey?

Brewster

I really do.  My one hold back is that my aunt had a dog named Trey when I was younger.  She and the dog lived at my grandparents, so it was kinda always there.  Is that a deal breaker with the name though?

I really like it! I think if you would always think of the dog that it would be a deal breaker, but your kids will never know the dog so they wouldn't make the association. Naming kids is so hard!!

I always thought Trey was a nickname for someone who is the III in their family.

And it always makes me think of the Phish singer.

Yes, but it will always remind me of Trey MacDougal. 

*Lu-Lu*

I was under the impression that Trey, as well as Trip were nicknames for children that were named the same name as their father and grandfather.  (ie: the third, III)

I like the name, but I was wondering if anyone else thought this, too.

I have heard of the name Trey used for a 3rd, but have also just heard it out-right as a name.  I grew up with a guy who was named Trey and it was not a nick name or because he was a 3rd.

I really have always hated it. Idk if it's the AY sound or what? I hate shay, too...

You're having a girl, anyway.

Like it!  The only Trey I knew was super cute and smart.  I had a huge crush on him in college.

It's ok for me...not really my style.  THe only Treys I know are all IIIs, it is not their given name.

I like it, but I have never heard of it as just a name it has always been used as a nickname for a III when I have seen it used.

I like it.  It's also on my short list of boy names.  So far, DH likes none of them, though.

I'm out of the norm here.  after reading the other responses.. I have never heard of it as a NN to a III.  But, I've only known  one guy named Trey, and his name was TRey Mitchell LASTNAME.
