trevor

[santaiscominghohoho]

Dh wants to call our son trevor or jimmy. I said no to start but now quite like trevor. what do you think? i heard names in 70s are coming back will this.name

I prefer the Welsh spelling Trefor which takes some of the mustiness out.

My son has a child called Trev / Trevor in his class.

I must admit I did smirk a bit at first, but now it's grown on me. Turns out it's short for Trevelyan although no-one calls him that.

Trevor? Never. It's a middle aged man's name.

Got no right to make a clot
Out of Trevor

Enough said.

My 65 year old FILs name and DH's middle name (which he hates so much he refused to have read out at our wedding!)

I love love love Trevor but DP said no. However he did say I can have Doug if baby is a boy. Please have Trevor!

I am not the biggest fan of Trevor. Mostly because I have known and disliked two Trevors. Prefer James nn Jimmy.

Ahhhh Baby Doug! I love that.
Baby boys do turn into actual men eventually and I for one would rather be called Trevor or Gordon than something like Alfie / Archie. (Because they are rarely Alfreds and Archibalds are they?)

I like Trefor rather than Trevor. Trevor always makes me think of Trevor and Simon. Was that Saturday morning telly? I can picture them.

I love Jimmy.

I have (serious) baby name regret. We should have called a DS James nn Jimmy. I love love love it.

Trevor? God please don't. I know 3 and they are all over 50. It's not retro or cool- it's just awful.

Jimmy as a shortening of James isn't bad. Not on its own though.

Go with James, not jimmy. And for the love of god, not Trevor!

I know a toddler Trevor. Don't do it.

Are you welsh? Would Trefor work?

Trevor is married to Maureen and they always have their dinner at 5pm on the dot.

How about Travis as a similar but slightly cooler sounding name?

I like Jimmy though.

God no.

I don't think that the time has come for a Trevor revival yet.

I think in 20 years time, maybe, but not now.

James (nicknamed Jimmy), now, that's a timeless classic. You can't go wrong with that.

not keen on Trevor. I do like Jason though, which was around at the same time.

Jimmy always sounds a bit scouse wideboy to me .

Seriously, I think it's fine.

If you like the sound of it, rather than any negative connotations, then it's fine.

The thought of a baby called Trevor or Keith literally makes me lol! (No offence to anyone with these names)

However, I'm sure they'll be the next big trend and you'll just be ahead of the game, so if you like it, go for it!

It's actually a nice name. Idk why we all have such negative associations with it.

I would far far far far rather be called Trev than Oscar or Oliver or Arthur.

It's more masculine. Sounds Welsh, and Cornish.

If you like the 'v' sound, what about Ivor?

Trevor
Derek
Brian
Graham
Alan
Howard

• they'll be next year's names.

Alfie, Soloman, Ivo, etc. - Over. Done. Bring on Barry n Colin!

I like it, mainly due to there being an adorable little boy called Trevor in DS's class. In the same class there is also a Jimmy, Jeffrey, Stanley and Ronnie
