[Anonymous]

Of the two names, Trent is better.

If we went with Trenton we would likely call him Trent from the beginning. Normally I prefer a nickname to come later on and not start out with a name that I know won't really be used (if that makes any sense)
but I also avoid names like Jack even though I like that because I don't want a nickname for a real name.


Thoughts?

Neither.
What is your other boy name Camden?

Brooklyn seems more feminine to me..Brooke LYNN

What about Shane, Nate, Jake?
My name is Beth and the short e vowel soft has been my own name pet peeve.

My initial reaction to the title of this thread was that it was the Real Estate forum and I wondered where Trent was located, because I know that Trenton is in NJ.

Go with Trent.

Do you feel comfortable telling us you other kids' names?

Trent is much better than Trenton. But I like the suggestions of Shane, Nate, and Jake, too. Would love to know more about your style.

Good strong motto, actually.

First thing I thought of. But I’m also a NJ native.

My dog’s father’s name was Trent, and his father’s name was Brett.

I think Trent is fine. Not my style, but doesn't immediately make me think of NJ. Congratulations, OP!

+1 I dislike both but Trenton is especially bad.

But he's your baby, do what you want.

I agree, especially about New Jersey. Not a good connotation to have and Trent sounds very low class to me.

How do you know your dog’s grandfather’s name?

I prefer Trent. It makes me think of the character in Dead Witch Walking. Love that series.

He’s a retired racing greyhound, so careful records have been kept and I can look up his pedigree online going back 30 generations. He grandfather was a superior racer in Australia and he was named after a cricket player named Brett Lee. Grandad was such a good racer that he fathered more than 4,000 offspring around the world, earning over $15 million in stud fees.
