The name is obviously different, which is why I'd consider naming him something more common and nicknaming him Trot. We're looking for reactions as we;ve had several on both sides.

Give him a regular name and use Trot as a nickname.

I'm sorry, I don't like the name Trot at all. It sounds more like an animal's name. I would suggest naming your son something else (like Tristan or Tyler or Thad or Thomas or Trent) and using Trot as a nickname. Perhaps you could use it just as a family nickname since you like it so much? I wish you the best of luck with your decision!

I see what you're saying. Trot would make a cute nickname but I would name him something a little more traditional or name-like.
You might like one of these names:
Traugott- German meaning "faith in God"
Tristan- Celtic name from the Authurian legends
Thurston- Old English
Trevor- Welsh meaning "great settlement"
Tayton-American believed to be varient of Taylor and Peyton
Thorald- Old Norsh meaning "follower of thor"
You could also get creative and use something like Trotten or Trottson and give him a traditional middle name like Sammuel, Micheal, Elijah, or Daniel.
Good luck, hope this hepls and that you find the name you're looking for.

Trot is different. It is actually in the baby name book that I like to consult. It means "trickling stream"! I am not sure that it will be an easy name or nick name for him to have in life. Trotting is what a horse does. And there is the popular rhyme: "Trot, trot to Boston! Trot, trot to Lynn! Watch out (baby name) you don't fall in!"
It also sounds a lot like ****.... and you know what that is, right?

In all honesty, my immediate reaction to "Trot" is... Trot a lot. I don't exactly know why. :)
Go with a more formal name and make Trot the nickname. It is a really cute nickname.

Trot sounds like a horse. I think with even using that as a nickname you are asking for your child to be made fun of.

It was always a family joke for us that someone would get "the trots" (as in trotting to the bathroom i.e diahreea) if they ate my Mom's meatloaf. It is hard for me to hear Trot as a name and not think of that, but for everyone else in the world outside my family ,I'm sure it is really cute. I like it if I say it out loud, nice alternative to Tristan or Todd.

And name your next child Gallop!
Trot, as in a trotting horse. Meh...don't do it unless you want your child to be traumatized. When I picture someone named Trot I see a unconfident kid hiding behind a garbage can, not a bold and 'cool' kid.
What about...hmm, you still want unique?
Tylen
Tiger
Titan
Terrell
Trenton
Troy
Todd
Harley
Harmen
Quinn
Hayden
Hoover(if you really like the horse idea))
I personally love Tylen the most from that list. Tylen goes with any middle name too! Tylen Scott, Tylen Elliot, Tylen Jay....

Trot should be a nickname. How about Colt or Colton for the first name or Trotter. I actually kind of like Colton Trotter.
