Long Live the Blue Whale
Everything you need to become a Prep!
- Monogrammed shirts, towels, and bathing suits. If J. Crew makes it–monogram it!
- Perky Nicknames – such as Muffy (for girls) and Trip (for guys). Preppy names often include unusual first names that stem from the last name of your great-great-great grandfather on your mother’s side. These names are usually referred to as “family names.” It is not to have an unusual first name that could be construed as a hippie name or stripper name.
