Well, if she was Catholic, that makes *some* sense. I know some Catholic families where they had debates over how to name the girls in honor of the Holy Mother (which is how a very Irish girl got a very Italian-sounding first name). So 'Trinity' fits, if you wanted a religious-themed name but didn't like the traditional offerings. (Dozens of girls named 'Margaret', 'Mary', or 'Magdalene'.)
What's more disturbing is that I recall her dedicating one of the early books to Trinity. She dedicates a *horror* novel (okay, thriller authors do it, too) to her (then) very young daughter, then proceeds to render the series into mindless, mechanical porn. Not to mention how she skewered the man who fathered her child, not just in characterization, but that dreadful afterward, for her daughter and her daughter's peers to see.
Times may have changed, but I recall that whichever parent in a divorced couple gave in and bad-mouthed the other in absentia before the kid(s) was largely considered... negligent, not mature enough to keep adult matters between adults.
She's claimed more than once that her grandmother took the maternal role in her life--and used the woman's surname for the lead character of her swinger fae porn. (I know 'Gentry' can be a term for the fae... but if I had an older relative I cherished who had that surname, and knowing how explicit the stories would become, I'd have found another name. Pronto.)
Is it surprising that Mother's Day seems like more than she can cope with?
