What do you think about the name

teakum

Trip or Tripp. We are not even pregnant yet, but if we ever have a boy this is what I want to call him. I want to name him, my mom's maiden, my maiden, then our last name. He will have three last names so I want to call him trip. Dh thinks I am nuts!!! what do you ladies think?

As they say on the baby boards sometimes, NMS (not my style). For the number 3 reference, I have known people called Trey, but I don't think I have ever met a Tripp.

I had a friend in high school named Tripp. I think it's cute.... different.

It's a cute name but NMS like stars.  I personally am not a fan of giving a name and then not calling it either by it's name or a shortened version of it.  But that is just me.   It will be your child and you can name it whatever you so choose.

it's ok...but like pps, NMS.

but i'm even against calling a kid by their middle name..hubs has to deal with this and hates that adam isn't his first name. it would make his life so much easier.

I can totally understand that.  I'm a teacher and automatically the first day of every school year when I call roll the first day I call the first name listed and it never fails that their are kids who go by their middle name, etc.  

I told my DH that whatever we give our child as a first name is what we will call them.  And if it is shortened then hopefully it'll be obvious what it is short for.  Like his name is Wesley and I call him Wes and Candi is short for Candice.  I used to correct my teachers every year when they called me Candice but when I got to college I just let it go.  It was easier that way.  

But again this is just my opinion

that's DH's first name too and i've asked him before why they named him that if they weren't going to call him that. they used the middle name adam because adams is a significant last name in the family and he's said his parents have *never* called him wesley.

I feel the same way Candi!!! 

!!Nicole!!

I think its different....but I like different. 

I would spell it Tripp.

I also agree with the other ladies that I don't like calling the child the middle name.  My DH has this problem and you encounter it on paperwork and everything.

i WILL say one good thing about using the middle name..if you don't have caller id and telemarketers call..you know it by who they ask for lol
