Trepp or Tripp?

Cheeks85 · August 2011

I like Tripp, husband likes Trepp. Whis is better?

L L CG · August 2011

Neither. Neither is better.

BlueRidge8 · August 2011

Will he be the third?

natkay02 · August 2011

Oh gosh. Neither. The double "p" does make it extra klassy though.

LaComtesse · August 2011

... yeah, I'm sorry, there's really nothing nice I can say about either of these. Tr- names that are actual names include...

Travis
Trent
Trevor
Tristan
Troy

or even Trace

Yes

I'm not even a fan of Trip(p) in that case. I think Trepp is just strange for any reason and it even sounds strange out loud.

evaazalea · August 2011

Is Trepp a name? It seems more like a sound.

BrideBuddies · August 2011

Is Trepp short for trepidation?

Keep trying.

kacelle · August 2011

Both names are awful. Trepp makes me think of trepidation, and "trip" is a verb. Tripp is just a misspelling of a verb.

Yes I keep thinking streptococcus.

Yes

Sorry OP. I kind of like Trip for a dog.

Wiscisbliss · August 2011

I prefer Tripp, but am not really crazy about either. They both seem like nick-names to me... but I am not sure what they would be short for.

I believe that they're both NNs that you give to a child who is a third (the son of a Jr.)

animalcrckr · August 2011

No and no

hairspray77 · August 2011

Neither neither neither! But DEFINITELY not Trepp! What in the world.

DawnJM25 · August 2011

I don't like either of these names, sorry.

Isabellarr · August 2011

neither?

eitaknna9 · August 2011

I don't believe either are actual names, so nope, I don't think either are good.

Summer0715 · August 2011

While they are not my style of the two you listed I would prefer Tripp.

allimg22 · August 2011

Out of the two, Tripp

Fancy3Face · August 2011

I actually considered Tripp. Trepp is awful.

SassyRedhead · August 2011

Just because Sarah Palin named her son Tripp does not mean it is an actual name. She also thinks she can see Russia from an island in Alaska by her house?!?!

Just say no to Trepp or Tripp. Poor child.

JessieJH · August 2011

Trepp also makes be think of a disease or disorder.

I'm not crazy about Tripp, but seeing this name on the forum over and over have made me wonder if it's just the Palin situation. Was this a name before her? Is it a nickname for an actual name? I can't imagine what the longer and legitimate version is, but perhaps it's decent... I hope?

Agreed

magsugar13 · August 2011

Tripp is god awful...Trepp is worse if that is possible

kellyrn9956 · August 2011

Yep - only she can get excited about names like this. Tripp is terrible. Trepp is absolutely God-awful. This cannot be serious.

alohamora · August 2011

to both.

She would get excited over names like that.

Anywho, I don't like either of the names.

Sorry...

sagoon · August 2011

They are both awful. Sorry.

sugarpumpkin716 · August 2011

mommabear17 · August 2011

How about Trapp?

ant8355 · August 2011

Tripp is bad....Trepp is even worse.

oh and for those of you asking if it's a nn for something? I'm not sure but my mom ran into a girl I went to high school with and she just had a baby boy named Tripton. ugh

ColeS530 · August 2011

I honestly don't like either. If I had to choose, I'd go with Tripp I guess.

Liz4444 · August 2011

Tripp is a nickname for someone who is a 3rd. I've never heard Trepp before and it's awful. Don't use either as a FN.

HeyJune · August 2011

I'm always shocked when I see the responses to "Tripp" on name boards. I live in the deep South, where Tripp is a very common Southern gentleman name. It usually means "the third" as in George Hamilton Morris, III who goes by Tripp Morris. Maybe this is a regional thing because people online seem to think it is a strange new made-up name.

I know 3 doctors and 2 lawyers named Tripp. They are in their 40s-50s. I know 3 young children with this name and the 2 that I know that are my age are in medical school. It brings to mind seersucker pants and a navy bowtie. If you drive down any Bellevue or Main Street area packed with old Southern mansions, you'll run into several Tripps. It isn't at all considered a trashy or classless name down here. It is "suth'n uppa class."

Just thought I'd throw that out there for those who aren't familiar with it in other areas. Oh, and I'd use Tripp. Trepp is weird to me.

Here's a link to a name blog where they tallied Southern gentlemen's names. There were 4 Tripp's.

But no one in the south uses it as a name on the birth certificate, it's always a nickname. I don't think anyone is questioning it as a nn, just as a formal name.

True. I think it would be ridiculous as a given name. Hopefully the OP meant is as a nickname for "the third." If not, it sounds wannabe pretentious.
