[dropcap]I [\/dropcap]have so many great names in my family tree. A favorite name for boys would be Christian Alexander and a favorite name for girls would be Catherine Scarlett. Picking the names of my children would be too easy.<\/p>\n

In the way of a favorite ancestral name, it is one that my family liked enough to use two more times.<\/p>\n

The award for favorite name goes to …<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Topliff Tapley Trippett<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Topliff Tapley Trippett aka Tapliff Topley Triplett.\u00a0Say that triplett times fast! When I think of this name I can envision a man in a slightly worn suit, a gentleman. When he puts his hand out for a firm handshake of introduction he proudly announces and enunciates his name. I have also envisioned him and this part of the family as jovial tricksters. Knowing the surname was once more of a nickname for a magician or performer of tricks, this fits.<\/p>\n

In the 2010 Federal Census, only 500 people carry the surname Trippett.<\/p>\n
