 So me and my friend love the name Trevin. Her husband says absolutely no way will he ever name his son Trevin, but we're trying to change his mind. Anyway, kind of a different name, WDYT?

Sounds like a mash up of Trevor and Devin. Can't say I like it. I think the husband is right.

I have to agree.

i third that.
i hate made up names.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I fourth it.

I knew a kid named Trevin! I actually like the name, but I understand why he doesn't like it. Maybe Travis or Trevor could be a compromise?

I can't see why the husband should agree to name a child that he helped create something that he absolutely despises.

Find another name and compromise?

No baby on the way, so no big deal yet. He likes one boy name and they already used it on their first son. The only girl names he likes are Kristen and Danielle, which just so happen to be the names of his ex-girlfriends. Yeah...
And he doesn't really despise the name. I think he mostly vetos her suggestions just to get her riled up. He thinks it's funny. After kid 15 it won't matter that much anymore i guess.

Kid 15 o_O whaaat?

Yeah, it looks like it's a made up name.

I'd go with Trevor, Travis, Devin, Trent, Evan, Davin, Kevin, or something, you know, real.

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

Davin looks made up too.

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

But it is not made up. Just very uncommon. Hmmm....

Trevor is a name. Kevin is a name. Trevin is not.

I like Travis quite a bit.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I agree with the husband!

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

So... according to one website, (which is not always accurate) Trevin is made up, or invented, rather. But my question is, weren't all names invented at some point? 1000 years ago, was anyone named Madaline? Brandon? And if they were, the name had to come from somewhere. So the argument that invented names are dumb is dumb because all names were invented at one point or another. Right??? Maybe not... makes sense to me though. Oh well.
I don't know where my friend got the name... she probably knew someone with that name or read it in a book. i like Trevin more for a middle name. It also sounds like a last name. Anyway...

PS- Does it matter if the parent made up the name or if they heard it somewhere and it happened to be made up? When is a name no longer made up?

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I get what you're saynig.. but it's generally agreed that names with past history derived from a word are 'real' and a hell of a lot classier. Made up names are of course names to a certain extent.. but they're tacky and not in the same genre.

It's a bad thing to be in the made up name genre.

That's so weird. I have never heard this name before until last night.. when it was one of the kids in the family on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition last night. It's kind of cute, not sure I would use it, but it's a lot better than many more unique names out there :)

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

First time I heard it, too.

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

I prefer Trevor if at all.

:/
not a fan. travis? trevor? devon? kevin?
to me, trevin is mispronounciation of trevelyan (sorry, my friend's sean bean fangirlishness has rubbed off on me)

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Team Husband! Trevin sounds contrived and hokey.
