Personally as a Trey, never been a fan of the name, but I am grateful it's spelled Trey with the e not Tray, Trae, or Trai, those are blah, but I'm stuck with Trey now.
I've always thought Trey was a really cool name. Still do. I also don't think you'd have to be a lll or third child to bear this name, of course. I think it could work for anyone ;)
No hate if your name is Trey, but one of my friends is considering naming her son this, and their last name is Troy. His full name would be Trey Troy and I know that he would be relentlessly bullied for it. I'm currently trying to make her reconsider but to no avail. So make sure if you're choosing the name Trey that it goes with your last name and won't result in your child getting endlessly bullied for it for the rest of their life.
This name is cool. Not my favorite, and I wouldn't name my child this, but I don't hate it. I prefer it more as a nickname than a full/legal name, but that's just me :)
My wife and I picked Trey for our third child. Kinda obvious. Plus our other two kids had "T's" for their first names so it worked great. I love the name Trey. It fits him perfectly.
My son is Robert III and we call him Trey/Tre exclusively - although people get confused since his legal name is Robert and they don't necessarily understand that the third is Trey. He is a very active, fun, rambunctious boy, suits him well.
Used to be a guilty pleasure name of mine. Now I'm not too sure what to think of it. It's not horrible or anything.

I named my third son Trey. He is funny, smart, and athletic. I just do not like how popular it has become. At least no one should have his middle name, Grayhawk.
I love this name! I prefer the spelling "Tre" than "Trey" though. I think it sounds great and it's easy to pronounce. The spelling with the "Y" on the end makes it seem like a lunch tray or something. I really love this name and I would totally name my child this.
I was a bit taken aback when I started hearing this name on humans, since I had only ever heard it used as a dogs' name before. Knowing that this used to be one of the two most popular names for Collies, I just can't take it seriously on a man or boy. At least some other names that are popular for dogs, like Bailey, don't seem so totally out of place on a human.
I go by Trey. I waited for three generations for that name! Ha! Anyways, jesting aside, Trey is a very cool name, playful and frivolous, and it's a joy to have two names. However, I know of at least two Trey's that have been named so that weren't the third. Personally, if the name means three, then you shouldn't name the firstborn Trey.
Will Smith's eldest son bears this name as his nickname.

This reminds me of at least two very annoying people, one being a former MTV Europe host, and the other one being Trey Parker, the other guy who created South Park. This sounds like the name of jerks to me.
Never say anything like that about an name. NOBODY chooses their name. And certain names do not have certain personalities. I know somebody (My bro) who has the name Trey HERE IS A SHOCKER- he is kind and smart and funny!

Trey Atwood was a character on the popular FOX teen drama the O.C., played by Logan Marshall-Green.
My son's middle name is Trey and this is the name he goes by always. I love this name and so does my son. I began calling him Trey Bear when he was just a small tike (because he was snuggly and reminded me of a teddy bear). Great name for a boy!
