Trinity?

What do you think of the name Trinity for a girl? Our other child has a name that also starts with the letter T, so I do worry that people will assume we were intentionally trying to make their names match. I’m probably overthinking it.

It's downmarket and probably popularised by Trinny Woodall, whose real name is Sarah-Jane and the Trinny came from St Trinian's.

Oh is that where it came from. I vaguely assumed she adopted it for that show so they could call her Skinny Trinny.

Are you uber religious? Even if you are do you want your child to be perceived as such?

I think if she were religious it would be a good reason not to use it. The Holy Trinity is Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It's like calling yourself God-Jesus.

It is a name for churches, Oxbridge Colleges and schools OP. I really don't like this idea.

I'm not Christian but I have always liked the virtue names. I know Trinity is not a virtue name itself, but has that vibe. Names like Clemency, Honour. etc. When in the middle of pregancy hormone insanity I considered Temperance and Deliverance for a DD. I still think those names rock- but perhaps not on a small Jewish baby.

Trinity- I like it.

wizzler · 26/05/2026 10:31

Really like it. I know two who are both called Trin

Johnogroats · 26/05/2026 10:29

It’s a nice school in Croydon.

DelphiniumBlue · 26/05/2026 10:09

I wouldn’t give 2 children names that start with the same first letter due to issues with mail and officialdom.
Otherwise, I think Trinity is sweet, but it might lead people to make assumptions about her and you, as have already been pointed out by other posters.

It's a lovely name imo.

Sorry to see the religion-phobes seem to be out in force on the thread. I doubt your child will encounter as many ostentatiously rude people in real life.

I'm a Christian and although it's a fine name for a church or college it is bloomin' awful for a girl.

Mummblebee · 26/05/2026 08:23

Love it personally

AgnesMcDoo · 26/05/2026 07:59

The Matrix or devout Catholic

user1492757084 · 26/05/2026 07:34

Trinity is lovely.

Similar to Faith, Grace, Mercy, Clemency. Christian, Ernest, John, Amity, Benjamin, Charity.
All names based on Christian language but well and truly known as names.

kateluvscats · 26/05/2026 07:24

Reminds me of the baddie in Dexter

TurtleGroove · 26/05/2026 07:10

I really dislike to - religious aspect didn’t occur to me - but it just feels very trying hard to be cool/different

Berlinlover · 26/05/2026 06:58

Awful, sorry.

ConstantlyFuriosa · 26/05/2026 05:27

As others have said if you’re not religious it immediately makes you think of The Matrix. But I like it.

RedSapphire1 · 26/05/2026 05:21

I’m always shocked by the names that are criticised on MN as being too unusual. I find it to be a bit dramatic. Trinity has been in use as a name since at least the 2000s and even before then.

A child won’t be bullied because her name is Trinity.

OvernightBloats · 26/05/2026 03:32

Horrible name. Pretentious. Trying to be different.

I would stay away from names that could lead to the child being bullied because of it. This is one of them.

Now that’s a beautiful name. I’ve never met a Trinity.

KnickerlessParsons · 25/05/2026 23:04

As in The Holy Trinity? Not unless you’re v religious.

VeganSteakAndFries · 25/05/2026 22:59

The Father,The Son and The Holy Spirit?

user293948849167 · 25/05/2026 22:51

I quite like it

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 25/05/2026 22:36

The father, the son and the holy spirit.
Also Trinity college Dublin...

Also sounds like it could be one of the cast members of TV show Charmed.

lindalidl · 25/05/2026 22:33

I know one! Beautiful name
