The name Trip

[boushh]

Where I hail from, naming a boy after his father is done because of tradition and to honor family, not because of a lack of imagination. Daughters are even named after their mothers.

In the culture I was raised in it's sort of similar... though it's the kids getting named after the grandparents.

The name Trip as a nickname is fine. It never felt odd or out of place to me. It just seemed to work, IMHO.

Hey, boushh darlin! Nice to see you again! Love the av, too.

I'm glad TPTB tossed out "Spike" and renamed the guy Trip. Ever since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, there will be only one Spike for me...

Thanks. Good to see some familiar names around here.

I very much agree with you there. That would have been really tough to get used to...

Trip is a much better name for the character than Spike.

The problem with Charles tucker, is that.... Chuck Tucker, Chucker Tucker, Chucker.

I don't think I could take a character called Chucker seriously.

It could just be that they aren't aware that newborns are supposed to fall over when they try to walk.
