No one has ever did Trinidad. But if I wasn't Trinidadian, I would've been confused too🤣🤣. We have names from all types of demographics as we're multiracial and multi religious.
Soooo consider these factors:
Trinidadians are heavy on Religious names.
1)Christians would name their child Josiah, Jonathan, Ezekiel, Joshua, Kriston, David, Edward. Alicia (Not pronounced as Ali-sha but Ali-see-yeah) Chelsea, Christine, Morrisa, George. Heavily religious names are kind of dying out so they would just use English names instead, like Samantha or Sean (without a Religious meaning)
Older Ocs may have Geredette, Sybil, Victoria, Josephine, Henrietta, Elizabeth etc. (Any popular name of person from 1900s London is their name)
Last names are a mixture of Spanish, French, Portuguese, English and Scottish.
Eg~ De Gannes, Augustin, Romero, McDonald, Antoine, Murray, Forde, Paul, Beckles, Clark, Defretas, Garcia.
Normal English sounding names.
2)Hindus would have~ Radha, Kishan, Ravi, Devi, Kamla, Reshma, Mala, Sumintra, Sumitra, Meera. But it gets interesting! If the Oc is an older person, the names would be like: Leelawati, Sahdeo, DeoLal,Ramlal Chadrawati, Samundree, Deodath
They would have Hindi sounding last names. Like Mahadeo, Ramdeo, Persad and Singh.
Honorable name mention, Nisha which is unreligeous and can work.
3)Muslims~ Fatima, Fareeda, Fareed, Hamza, Aliyah (But Aliyah is multi-religious), Halima, Nizam, Sayed.
Old Muslim names~ They tend to put doon or 'un at the end of their names *Shahid becomes Shahidoon*
One name would have different spelling like Lakshmi (Lakshmi, Lakshmie, Laxmi)
4) Trinidadians invented ship names! People name their children with ship names.
If your mom is Keisha and the dad is Mark, this you're Markeisha.
Dad's name is Charles, then you names is Charlene (or Charlotte if the Oc is older)
If Navin, the names would be Naveesha, Naresh or start with another N name.
Jalina (Maybe a mix of Jalani and Lina)
Tyrell and Nisha (Taneesha)
Sadly it's dying down, but Trinidadians have nicknames that derives from the person's features, their position in the family, their attitude, how they dress (sometimes).
Son and Sunny ~ if the Oc is a first born.
Baby~ most likely the youngest or the tiniest.
Tally~ if the tall person is tall.
Shorts~ if they're short.
Nose~ if they have a prominent nose.
Maggas, Skinny~ A thin person.
Darling ~ maybe stuck with childhood.
Reds ~ a high coloured person with Hispanic ancestry.
You can have up to 3 nicknames. Because your family would give you two, and friends or society would give you another.
That's why we say "Why are you calling me by my Government name?" (The Government name is your correct name you have on your ID. The one you use for work and school)
Sorry if it was too long 😭.
