That’s just a generic name that lots of people use in passing.



You don't have to get defensive about being a hypocrite.

You gave a your kid a nickname. Why not just call him that?

Tell the truth, your kid is a little slow and can't figure out his real name from his nickname?

Third generation boy goes by “Tripp.” If you don’t call him his real name, and want people to call him Tripp, why tf don’t you make him Tripp? This is the worst I’ve seen and I know of two examples. This is beyond idiotic.


If he wasn’t the third generation name then he wouldn’t be Tripp.

I'm known by a nickname that isn't any of my names. I like it. People who end up hanging around me long enough always give me a surprised look when they hear my real name.

It doesn’t matter. You named your lis X knowing you preferred a different name to call him. This is beyond idiotic and asinine lol

No. They want to name him Charleston Everton Whitaker III. But, thats a mouthful so he gets called Tripp or Trey.

I know someone that named their kids so they could call them by the nickname for the real names. It wasn’t a family name at all.

Why not just name them the nickname version? If you want to call your child Andy then don’t name him Andrew.

I thought it was stupid as frick to do this.

Ok. So if it’s inconvenient for you then suck it up or bake him something else.

Man, I’m amazed how some of you are unable to understand this
