Trevor
What are your thoughts on the name, do you know any and where are you from.
Thanks.
I have more to give! More words! More joke! MORE BANANAS! - Gerald
Thanks.

OOOOOOOGLY. So harsh sounding. I like it on Neville's frog, though. Funny.
From southern US.

I like it well enough, but don't love it. It makes me think of a British flyboy.
My 18-year-old nephew is named Trevor. He's the only one I've known. He's from Massachusetts. His father has lived in Massachusetts from a very young age, his mother (my sister) is originally from New Jersey.

I'm surprised whenever I hear someone say Trevor sounds like an old man name, because I knew several Trevors growing up in the 80's and 90's, and I have never met an old man with the name. To me, Trevor is someone my age, more of a dad name. I personally don't care for it. It sounds slow-witted, though I'm not sure exactly why.
It is one of my least favourite names, sorry!
I've known several but none under the age of 60. It is not a young person's name in the UK at all. Often gets abbreviated to Trev which I don't find very attractive!

I went to school with only one Trevor (born probably 1990/1991). I also read a book where the main character was named Trevor and he would have been born in the 70s. And I watch the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. I don't know/know of enough Trevors to date it to any certain time, but it's "newer" to me (I'd expect one to be ~40 or younger.)
I like it. Probably not enough to use, but it's not bad. It reminds me of nice clean lines for some reason (like if you were going to decorate a room and call it Trevor. Dark masculine colors, clean lines).

I dislike it mostly because it's kind of crusty sounding to me...but it will almost definitely be one of the middle names of a hypothetical firstborn son.
I suspect I'd find the sounds appealing if I didn't see it as so terribly dated.
In Australia, the Trevors I have know range in age from late-80s to maybe late-40s?
In the US, I know a 5 year old, a 10 year old and a guy in his mid-20s. I know of many more, all much younger than those I know in Australia.

Trevor was in the British charts from the 1910s to the 1970s and peaked in the 50s. So yeah, mostly an old-man name. The Trevors I've met are all over 55 and all a bit nerdy, so that's the impression I get of the name.
I know Trefor, the village the name came from, quite well. It's a tiny, fairly shabby one-shop-and-a-couple-of-streets place under an enormous looming mountain.

It's always had a bit of a soap opera vibe to me. I am in Winnipeg. My cousin is a Trevor - he's in his early 40s. And my neighbour is a Trevor, he's 34.
Nope nope nope. Trendy jock/frat bro type name IMO. Trevor Noah is an okay association but I still don't like the name. I've probably met some but no particular Trevors I can think of off the top of my head.
ETA: I'm American and Trevor sounds young to me. Like I'd be surprised to meet an old Trevor.
I'd put it in a group with Trent, Austin, Jason, etc. So not necessarily young, but not old either.

Definitely an old man name here, along with names like Colin and Brian. I would be very surprised to hear it on a younger person.
I knew a Trefor of my age. The family were very determinedly Welsh and it was unusual.
Trevor is a real old man's name - a bit of a joke. If I met a small child being called this I would think he'd either been named for a grandfather or his parents had gone for the oh-so-consciously-retro-ugly-unusual hipster naming trend and had expected a lot of congratulations on their 'originality' from their friends.

I've never met a Trevor. I don't think I've ever heard it used in Brazil.
I don't like it at all.

I Think it's horrid, and a perfect name for a frog/toad. I don't know any since I'm living in Sweden.
All South Africans probably think first of Trevor Manuel, who was our Minister of Finance from 1996 to 2009 and did a very good job. He was born in 1956 so is definitely not a young man - most if not all the Trevors I've known locally are more or less that vintage too.
I quite like the name, but not enough to use. When he was in politics he was known as Clever Trevor, not always respectfully, but he was thoughtful and incorruptible, so I respect him. I'd group Trevor with Brian and Graham - dated, but pleasantly so.

I know two. They're both in high school.
Not a fan.

I've only known one, surprisingly. I like it a lot. I'm from the East Coast (USA).
