Our story of Trayvon
Ours, offered as ours. Trayvon is built the way a great many American names of its generation were built: a familiar front, a familiar back, and a join that had not been made before. Trey was already a name — the card-playing word for a three, used for a boy who was the third of his line. The -von ending had a decade of its own. What the two make together is a name with a clear rhythm, a definite moment, and no ancestry, which describes an enormous number of American names and is not a criticism of any of them.

The Carnell test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Trayvon's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Carnell climbed just as high around 1955, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Carnell's path sketches the road Trayvon is walking now.
