I myself am a christian so when we had Trinity in 1997 I named her after our local trinity lutheran church we had our daughter Genesis in 1999 and our son noah in 2002.

My husband chose this name in 4th grade for any future daughter he may have. His inspiration was the Trinity river in California where his dad would take him fishing. Now that we’re both older and more seasoned in our Christian faith, we love what the name represents in regard to the Holy Trinity. God is faithful. It fits her so well! We call her Trinny for short, I never thought I’d want that nickname but I now think it’s so cute.

I was out shopping one day very close to my due date & still haven’t decided on a name when I heard a Father calling for his Daughter. Whenever I heard him call the name Trinity I thought how perfect!!! Not a very common name nor do I hear it often even now!!

I picked triniti because it means 3 (the father, the the son, an the holy ghost.) I have three girls now. So naming my new baby girl Triniti was perfect. I have three Desteni, Harmoni, an Triniti. It sounds so beautiful together

We named our 3rd child (daughter) because Trinity, means 3 and represents our Christian beliefs of the God Head the Trinity i.e. r the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Aaaaaaand also because Trinity, is our 3rd and last daughter lol we thought Trinity was a fitting name.

  I’m the first born out of 4 girls and my name seems to become very literal when I say my personality is a combination of all three of my sisters

I named our first baby Trinity Reign because it means The LORD REIGNS. We wanted to honor God with this baby girl because when she was just a fertilized egg traveling through my tube, I was scheduled for a fertility surgery to help me get pregnant! I felt from the Lord not to go in that day. She wouldn’t be here if I went through with it!!!
