Tripp

Updated: November 17, 2021 by MomsWhoThink Staff

For years, Tripp was considered just a nickname for baby boys, but in the late 2000s, it began to rise in popularity as a given name in its own right. That was most likely due to the fact that a reality star and daughter of a vice-presidential candidate chose the name for her baby boy. Today, it's a top 500 baby name, and that's not likely to change anytime soon. It pairs well with many middle names and, as a one-syllable moniker, could also be a great middle name itself.
