I think the first name is "Tray" or "Trey." And it does exist but it's actually not very common. On the positive side, your given name would be really hard to fit into hip-hop lyrics. “Trae is a Spanish verb and a common first name in the US.”

Why don't you just adopt the stage name 'Trae' and leave your real name as it is? Unless you have a quarrel with your folks and you're looking for a grand gesture that says '**** you!' I think this step is just too much. Hmmm … this is probably not worth the effort. Why don’t you just adopt the stage name ‘Trae’ and leave your real name as it is?

I don't just find him to be an overrated actor, but a genuinely annoying and untalented human being. No single actor in the history of Hollywood has done as much to promote farting, pissing, and general gross out behaviour to be normal comedy. The man stinks. On the other hand, I believe you can change your name if it makes you happy. But it's not something to be taken lightly, like a combination of getting a tatoo, getting married, and piercing bits of your body, all at once. Might seem like a good idea at the time, but how will you look in 20 years times? Divorced and septicaemia'd, and shrivelled up with weird things on your skin?

So far Papa & Mama don't mind, it's nobody's business. It’s your name; change it if it makes you happier. So far Papa & Mama don’t mind, it’s nobody’s business.
