Patrick plz do Kenneth

[@ChristoAbrie]

you should do a video on fictional characters' names. i think people would love to know the origins behind their favourite character's name. (preferably unique names that not commonly used irl and are mostly only associated with that particular character, ie Gandalf)

[@rickau]

Why did you have to mention magical Trevor? Went on a massive nostalgia dive including beebo and lost a good few hours to that XD

[@Unearthly_Child_]

The name Trevor just makes me think off Trevor the Tractor from Thomas and Friends, because that was the only Trevor i knew of growing up

[@GamingGardevoir]

Trevor the Traction Engine, the one who runs the hay rides

[@lordnul1708]

I mainly associated Trevor as a name with Trevor Belmont from the NES game Castlevania III (which the Netflix series was based on).

[@brianedwards7142]

You need a baguette and string of onions to go with that outfit Monsieur.

[@wendychavez5348]

I think of Trevor as being big. Big guy, big personality, big in some way. I guess coming from a big settlement is appropriate. I'm glad to contribute to Patrick's well-being on Patreon, and grateful to the rest of you who help. You all rock!

[@UdderlyEvelyn]

Trevor comes off as a posh businessman to me, if anything, but it just seems like a regular-ass name. I'm in DE, USA.

[@Invalid-user13k]

Trevor might not be a redneck name but it's still a great name. My friend had it.

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

Q&A @Patrick: Is there any etymological connection between the similar-sounding names "Trevor" and "Travis"?

[@Bullsquid592]

hearing about a name comment section makes me wonder what the most bullied names are, mine was pretty bad.. guess it just rhymes well

[@spddiesel]

I'd guess Poindexter, if anyone actually named their kid Poindexter. Seriously, I think it was just a movie trope. Same with Waldo. But kids dgaf, they'll take any name and run with it. I was Gay Ray for so long it's not even funny. At least I wasn't Jason Poopypants, I swear that kid shit himself at recess three separate times in one year. You think eventually they'd ban him from using the monkey bars...

[@gregcampwriter]

I've lived most of my life in various states of the American south. Trevor was a name that I rarely encountered. It sounds like a posh British name to me.

[@valerietaylor9615]

It's very British.

[@tutscifriscale]

i have a good family friend called trevor and he’s a great handyman and fixer. that’s the only association i have with the name!

[@herschelwright4663]

Trevor from the Canadian mockumentary Trailer Park Boys.

[@TheLowstef]

Magical Trevor was sooo good back in the dark age. And there is a new one from 2020

[@shanestanton8]

Another noteable Trevor is boxer Trevor Berbick, Muhammad Ali’s last opponent Trevor was also used as a pseudonym for a character on “Cheers” when he was the subject of a study

[@snardfluk]

It’s very strange you should feel that way. I think in the US we think of Trevor as a British name. We may know the actor Trevor Howard. The only Trevor I know is a poet in Yorkshire. If the name is common in the US, it must be a new thing.

[@chwilhogyn]

Trevor OR Welsh spelling Trefor it has two meanings: Big Settlement - TREF FAWR or Settlement by th Sea - TREF FÔR, plus the F in Welsh is equvilant of V in English

[@PlayingGilly]

Funny enough in Ireland Trevor is considered a fairly middleclass name.

[@bridgittorbett2993]

My dog is a Leonburger and he came with the name Trevor. It suits him so we kept it.

[@auldfouter8661]

Classic actor Trevor Howard born 1913 , star of Brief Encounter.

[@allanrichardson9081]

In the current CBS sitcom Ghosts, one of the ghosts is a 1980s Wall St. investment broker who died without his pants, named Trevor.

[@HalfEye79]

Another fictionary Trevor is Trevor Ochmonek from the series Alf.

[@captainyulef5845]

To me, when I hear Trevor, I think of a kind village boy. No idea why lol.

[@Judeinator9001]

I actually have a friend named Trevor who is a kind boy from a village so you’re not wrong

[@DogFoxHybrid]

RIP Trevor Moore of WKUK - one of my favorite comedians.

[@tomfrazier1103]

Knew one Trevor in grade school thru Junior High. This was c1978-83. I didn't know him, but he gave off a country motorhead vibe. California native Malihini, have never met another Trevor in my life.

[@modmaker7617]

Canadian comedian K. Trevor Wilson always makes me laugh. Last week I met a man named Estill. Wondering if that's a male version of Estella?

[@danise1856]

OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERED MAGICAL TREVOR

[@dylancrichton2227]

I'm from Australia, I know many Trevors. My dads best mate is a Trevor and it is a name I would associate with the older generations and ocker Australians. It is not a name a young hipster would have. The sort of name a farmer from out bush might have.

[@MuriKakari]

I am very certain there is a Top Gear clip, maybe the Jerusalem special, where Clarkson actually said he was appointed by God.. or maybe it was Blues Brothers quote.

[@CharlesStearman]

I'm sure there was a British TV ad years ago featuring two children in which one of them says to the other "You know everything Trevor" but can't remember what the product was.

[@trevormclain9404]

I mean the stereotype sort of hits the nail on the head 😂

[@hthumbs4072]

In my mind, Trevor is either a suburban frat dude who boasts about his high school footall team at 30 and how good he is at beer pong OR he's a quiet blue collar guy in his late 20s who really loves his truck, and is the guy in the trailer park that everyone goes to because he'll kinda half fix anything for a 20. I'm from the Midwest US, so those are the only two types of people with the name Trevor who I've ever met. lol

Trevors in my life include the Traction Engine from Thomas and friends. And also my dalmatian OC, who was named after an elementary school classmate of mine who moved to Alaska.

[@TrevorDBrown]

Local Sexpot Trevor Moore... what a guy. May he rest in peace.

[@FoggyD]

Trust a Chelsea supporter not to mention West Ham legend Trevor Brooking! Very much a non-rural guy who became a knight of the realm. The letter V isn't actually used in the Welsh alphabet. I once knew a Canadian of Welsh extraction who went by the purer spelling of 'Trefor'.

[@WolfvineGaming]

Hey that’s my name! Wow! About time lol

[@RandomHuman91]

There was a character called Trevor who i found incredible disgusting as a kid (not looks rather than actions) so that connetation still kinda sticks because all i can think of is that character.

[@Sid_Phillips_1984]

Trevor smokes let’s go.

[@taitano12]

The name Trevor usually puts the image of a mid 20s bald black guy in a brown knitted turtleneck with a cappuccino in his hand. Quite handsome, with a narrow-ish face, slightly bookish and you just KNOW he's way into jazz, light hip-hop, and poetry sessions that feature bongos.

[@likebot.]

I never thought of Trevor as being red-neck, but there is Cory & Trevor in the Canadian comedy series, Trailer Park Boys.

[@luisphelipecarvalho5990]

As South American, i have always associated the name *Trevor* to cool white guys in stereotypical american schools , you know, those guys with jackets that play football, get laid by the blonde cheerleaders and stuff, lol

[@JeremyWS]

I've never really met anyone with the name Trevor, but I am familiar with its redneck connotations. Not too surprised with the Welsh origins of the name, there are not too many names that originate from the USA (with the exception of Native American names). I think this name deserves to be revitalized and given new connotations.

[@billcday]

The Welsh and Scottish people heavily migrated to the Appalachian region of the US. A beautiful region but is often derided as being redneck (a term that originally came from its strong socialist history)

[@generalZee]

I say this as a fan who really wants you to succeed: this thumbnail needs work. I must have scrolled past it 10 times today thinking it was some random GTA5 video before I realized it was yours. GTA5 fans get fed so much stuff you may as well be saying to them "You forget 1000 GTA Thumbnails a day, make this one of them." In general, I think your thumbnails could use some kind of consistency. I personally think adding your avatar in the upper-left-hand corner might help a lot, plus you should standardize fonts and colors which won't only get you more views, but will also help reduce your production time (fewer decisions to make on each thumbnail). Seriously, I think your content is great, and if you did some spiffing up on your thumbnails I bet you could get way more views on it!

Names are not the problem. The acts of people are what are important. People who hate, feel entitled and feel superior are undesirable while people who care and are more helpful are coveted.

[@patrickbushell9053]

question why do we have middle names

[@EMNstar]

Look up Appalachian names and history (they're the "hillbillies" because they lived in the Appalachian Mountains largely separate from the other communities in the south)

[@512TheWolf512]

Obviously because Trevor isn't one. Most importantly - he's Canadian, and secondly, as pointed out by Michael in the game, he's a hipster

[@Oturan20]

That is one of my Favorite exchanges between those two in the game.

It sounds more American than British to me, only the Northern and Midwestern states

[@agrofindastation]

I don't really think of it as redneck but I definitely think it same generic white person name as Connor Cody Cooper Dylan and Trevor

[@EMNstar]

I only knew 'Trevor's from the Midwest (so like Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa) I don't know if it is as common in the South "Redneck"s are usually characterized by coming from the South (ie Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, and maybe Arkansas and West Virginia) But this is all anecdotal

[@MyLatin1]

As a member of the insulted party I can without a doubt confirm that where I live in Texas the name Trevor is really uncommon and is largely associated with as my grandfather so elegantly put it " Sissy boys and pretentious snobs who send their kids to private schools" his words not mine.

[@Bacopa68]

I always associate Trevor with the movie "Made in Britain" which made Tim Roth a star. It's a movie about a racist skinhead.

[@purplealice]

To me, an American woman, "Trevor" is a guy pretending to be cool and British, but is neither. He's usually a villain. Or else he's an attractive Jamaican man passing me a well-rolled spliff ;-)

[@NumbersUpNorth]

🇺🇸 We know. Why did you make this?

[@rheiagreenland4714]

I mean, considering the Trevor Project, I'm pretty sure Trevor isn't a redneck name. Trevor is a pretty gay name by the way. Doubly not a redneck name.
