Comment on Is it "Their name is Trevor," or "Their names are Trevor" if you know 2 Trevors?
gasgiant@lemmy.ml 5 hours agoIt’s perfectly correct. There are two people named Trevor.
So the plural is named Trevors.
Are you trying to suggest the correct plural of named Trevors is Trevi?
They’re named Trevi is completely wrong.

Nobody is suggesting Trevi but you.
They’re named Trevors will never be correct. The plural of Trevor is clearly Trevors, but the context of yours is referring to a singular name. Trevor functions as a singular name, not as a plural noun. The name doesn’t change because multiple individuals possess it. It’s the same reason we’d say, for example, two cities named Liverpool but two Liverpools.
