3rd boy arriving any day and I am not to confident in his name

We have a third boy due any day now. I have two older Boys [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]. We plan on naming him [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. I love the name but I afriad since it’s used in everyday language I don’t want him to get made fun of. Plus it’s our last child and I want to make sure my husband and I give him the right name.

I think [name_m]Chance[/name_m] is a great name. I like it with brothers [name_m]Drake[/name_m] & [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]. If you love it I say go for it :slight_smile:

I like the name [name_m]Chance[/name_m], especially with his brothers names. It is easy to get cold feet at the end, but you chose it for a reason.

I prefer [name_u]Chase[/name_u] more than [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. [name_m]Chance[/name_m] seems like you’re tempting fate a bit. He may turn out to be a good citizen - or not. It’s all up to chance. Well, isn’t that the way of the world? Compared to the strong names of [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], [name_m]Chance[/name_m] doesn’t make the grade for me. I don’t know if he’ll get any grief if you choose [name_m]Chance[/name_m], it’s just not my style. Children are being given much stranger word names than [name_m]Chance[/name_m] nowadays. If you and your husband love the name, go for it! That’s the bottom line.

I think [name_m]Chance[/name_m] is a great choice! It’s so daring and cute! I think it makes a great addition to your sibset. Congratulations on another addition to your family!

[name_m]Chance[/name_m] is cute, but insubstantial next to [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]. Perhaps [name_m]Cabot[/name_m] (keep the history theme going), [name_u]Chase[/name_u] (eh), [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_u]Cade[/name_u], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Gable[/name_m], [name_m]Hoyt[/name_m], or [name_m]Harrison[/name_m].

I can see why you are doubting the name given that your first two boys have strong traditional names. But don’t you find that the more children you have the more creative you get with the names? I know I considered totally different names for my third than I did with my first. Personally I like the name [name_m]Chance[/name_m] and choosing a new name with only days to go might make you regret getting cold feet at a later date.

But if you want to consider other options to take to the hospital incase you meet the baby and say “Nope, you are not a [name_m]Chance[/name_m], you are a ______” here are some alternatives that go with your older sons’ names.

[name_u]Chase[/name_u]
[name_m]Chester[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]

Good luck!

No offense but I HATE [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. His brothers have such nice names, there has to be another option!!

I love [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]. I really don’t care for [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. It is a little to Homeward Bound/Dog for me. With [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], I would love to see:

[name_u]Cal[/name_u]/[name_m]Callen[/name_m]
[name_u]Cade[/name_u]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]

I’m not the biggest fan of the name [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. I also don’t like [name_u]Chase[/name_u] (makes me think of the bank). Let’s see… What about [name_m]Colin[/name_m] or [name_m]Connor[/name_m]?

It’s a cool name but you can bet that there will be a lot of “Take a chance” jokes throughout his life, which is probably what’s bothering you. [name_m]How[/name_m] well he’ll handle that is more up to him than to you – will he be a shy, quiet child who has difficulty with the name but a confident dude who can roll with it? And how much of a – sorry, chance – are you willing to take? There are a lot of other good options. Maybe you can tell us what you’re looking for in a name to get better help.

I love [name_m]Chance[/name_m]! It’s great!! Especially with [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m].

Hello! I will have to admit I don’t care for [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. I think you have better options…[name_u]Chase[/name_u] (similar to [name_m]Chance[/name_m], but really like this option), [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], or [name_m]Leo[/name_m], . I really like names with one or two syllables and think they will go good with his siblings! Good luck and congrats on the new addition to your family!

I like [name_m]Chance[/name_m]. I think it’s a nice name, but if your unsure than use as a middle name. Some of my favorites are …

[name_m]Greyson[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]William[/name_m]

[name_m]Landon[/name_m]
