Jobe Evan sounds much better when the "e" in Jobe is silent, otherwise the names run into each other and the fluidity is not good.
Trinity isn't my cup of tea, I tend to group it with Destiny, Truth, Charity etc which I don't like. Elizabeth however I like very much, it is classically English and strong.

Trinity Elizabeth is lovely, it flows very nicely.
I'm not so keen on Jobe Evan because I think the pronounciation is unintuitive - I'd want to say it like it's spelt. Maybe spelling it Jobie or Joby would be better so people know how to say it? On the other hand, I don't like made-up names so maybe Joby as a nickname for something else (e.g. Job) would be better.
Evan is a very nice name :)

It's fun to plan names for the future. :-)
Trinity Elizabeth is elegant and will stand the test of time beautifully. I'm less sold on Jobe Evan, however. Can you give us some background on the name Jobe? It is used in another culture? Do you know the meaning of it? It helps sometimes. But I think it's going to be more of a headache than you realize. Would you consider using Jobe as a nickname for something like Job, or Jacob / Jacoby? I think your child would thank you.

Other than the Biblical figure whose patience was tested? I do know a Job from Mexico, and there are times I think someone is saying Hope when they say his name. I prefer Job without the e at the end. But, I don't think I would use it personally. But I'm not a huge fan of overly Biblical names for some reason. Maybe I know too many Isaiahs, Elijahs, Malakais, etc.

Yes, I did know about Job. I just thought perhaps Jobe (the way RandomBet is pronouncing it, with two syllables) could be some different name entirely, or a variant from the Netherland, for example. I hate to completely rule out a name and then have the original poster come back and tell me it's a name that's been in their family for twelve generations from Poland, or it's a family surname, etc. I was leaving the door open to be convinced, that's all. But thanks for the assist. :-)
I never thought about a Spanish pronunciation for Job. That would be something to get used to.
