Trinity?

[ClearTheWAY]

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.

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.

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

Awful, sorry.

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

Reminds me of the baddie in Dexter

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.

The Matrix or devout Catholic

Love it personally

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

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

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 nice school in Croydon.

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

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.

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.

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

a name since at least the 2000s

Yes, but that falls pretty squarely in the definition of non-traditional.

Non- traditional names tend to date horribly.

It's a suburb in Edinburgh.

@RedSapphire1 , The name coincides with the TV programme 'What not to wear'.
Susannah and Trinny modeled in the Boden catalogue in he 1990s and had a column in the Daily Telegraph for years.

It's a celebrity-inspired name and won't date well. It's modern and probably appeals to ashellems.

A child won’t be bullied because her name is Trinity. How do you know?

My response is not due to religion-phobia, but rather religion-respect.

To me it seems almost blasphemous to name a child basically 'God 3 ways'

It isn't the same as calling a child after one of the virtues, or a saint, it's literally calling your child God.

Which seems odd.

(I am not religious)

Not bullied, maybe, but she will be called 'Holy Trinity' ad nauseam, and when she gives her name people will say 'as in Holy?'

A shopping centre in Leeds, as well as the holy triumvirate.

I’d assume you’d be a very religious family

Lovely.

Well Christianity stole the concept from earlier pagan religions, where the three tended to be goddesses…..

My first thought would be the university in Dublin, then the Matrix, neither of which are bad associations. I can’t imagine anyone of that generation thinking holy trinity first?

I like it as a name, a little different without being too out there.
