(English))
Gender: Male
I saw a movie advertised the other
day and the male lead actors first name is Trevor and this is a name I
associate with both a handsome slightly sexy guy and a very preppy guy as well
and that can be handsome and sexy in a way too. I love all the meanings a lot
and it has a good interesting history. It’s a name though that is too common
for my actual character naming tastes but I don’t mind seeing it in other author’s
novels and at least it’s easily pronounceable.
