Meaning and background
The story behind Trips
Trips is the plural of the English noun *trip*, a journey or excursion, and the same word also describes stumbling. The plural makes it sound a little like a family nickname while retaining the ordinary travel connection. It would be inaccurate to describe Trips as a classical personal name or to assume that every owner chose it for a travel-loving dog.
