The character Trilby O'Ferrall in this famous work gave her name to both the hat style and subsequently to some children. The addition of the 'e' in this spelling variation gives it a more distinctively name-like appearance. Extremely rare in usage, Trilbey carries artistic and literary associations due to its novel origins. The name has a distinctive, vintage quality that might appeal to parents seeking something truly unique with cultural connections. Its rarity ensures individuality, while its literary history provides substance and conversation value.
