Comments for the name Trey

Can also be spelt: Tre. This spelling is used for Tre Cool, the drummer of popular American rock band, Green Day.

Tres (same pron.) means "very" in French. Tres Cool = very cool.

Every Trey I have ever met plays some kind of instrument.

This is my younger brother's name. It is a nickname for Richard. I like it, it's so cute, and my little brother is such a cutie.

Don't name your son Trey unless you want him to own your soul. Trey is like the ultimate rockstar name.

One of the creators/directors of South Park's name is "Tre". Same pronunciation.

The name of the co-creater of South Park is Trey, not Tre, as another poster has it. (His "real" name is Randolph.)

Trey is a nice name. Good name for big, strong boys. My baby cousin is named Trey and he is so energetic and comedic.

I like this name, but I would rather use it as a middle name than a first name. It makes me think of a tray and I would not get used to it.

My son's middle name is Trey and this is the name he goes by always. I love this name and so does my son. I began calling him Trey Bear when he was just a small tike (because he was snuggly and reminded me of a teddy bear). Great name for a boy!

Trey Atwood was a character on the popular FOX teen drama the O.C., played by Logan Marshall-Green.

This reminds me of at least two very annoying people, one being a former MTV Europe host, and the other one being Trey Parker, the other guy who created South Park. This sounds like the name of jerks to me.

Will Smith's eldest son bears this name as his nickname.

I go by Trey. I waited for three generations for that name! Ha! Anyways, jesting aside, Trey is a very cool name, playful and frivolous, and it's a joy to have two names. However, I know of at least two Trey's that have been named so that weren't the third. Personally, if the name means three, then you shouldn't name the firstborn Trey.

I was a bit taken aback when I started hearing this name on humans, since I had only ever heard it used as a dogs' name before. Knowing that this used to be one of the two most popular names for Collies, I just can't take it seriously on a man or boy. At least some other names that are popular for dogs, like Bailey, don't seem so totally out of place on a human.

I love this name! I prefer the spelling "Tre" than "Trey" though. I think it sounds great and it's easy to pronounce. The spelling with the "Y" on the end makes it seem like a lunch tray or something. I really love this name and I would totally name my child this.

I kind of like the name. It's unique, different, and I only know of one person who has the name.

This is a nickname for boys who carry the third generation of a name, i.e John Smith III can go by Trey (literally "number 3").
