HelpRe: can i use the name trifko?
in reply to a message by zinc-ox123
I have no idea who Trifko Grabez is. I looked him up on Wikipedia, you mean Trifun "Trifko" Grabež. Is he known widely where you are from?
I don't think it would be an issue unless you live in a former Yugoslav country and the people there still care about him. If it's common there it also isn't a problem, Pavlo (also Pavel) Sudoplatov assassinated Yevhen Konovalets, and there are still Ukrainians called Pavlo.
To me I just think of тривкість (tryvkist') "durability" said with a Russian accent. Or Trifon.
But a note- I saw in your site activity that your name is Fabiana so I'm assuming you're a girl. Trifko in the Balkans is a masculine name. Trifka would be feminine. Maybe you don't care but I thought I would tell you.

If he isn't known where you live then it shouldn't be a problem. I had not heard of him before you told me about it and I am Eastern European (though not Balkan).
If you're looking for a boys name then Trifko being a boys name is good. Another side note though: Trifko is a diminutive. It may not bother you but I thought I would say.
