There is more than one syllable in the world...

An American ex-colleague has called her daughter Bryce...

I also thought Chad sounded penisy... but I don't know why I think that.

Embekkisson1 · 05/02/2017 19:53

Btw Chad is a penis

Embekkisson1 · 05/02/2017 19:52

Oh I love Chase sounds like a gypsy name very mysterious,dead sexy , up for grabbing .

MrsMeeseeks · 05/02/2017 19:51

Bryce is lovely. I really don't like Chase, sorry.

WitchesCauldron · 05/02/2017 15:04

Neither-Chase-Paw Patrol !!

hoddtastic · 05/02/2017 11:50

none of them, Gavin is about the best.

10Betty10 · 05/02/2017 11:30

Ps. I agree, Chad is always the bully/jock/meat head in films!

10Betty10 · 05/02/2017 11:28

Blake and Cole are lovely and sound a lot less dated.

Chase and Bryce are very 80s- have a kind of flash yuppy vibe.

Kevin and Gavjn are very 70s- very Viz magazine/bloke in the pub- Kev and Gav. Little baby Kev/Gav sounds pretty odd!

""Maybe it's worth a rethink though for something slightly more international and not quite so American?""

Do you say the same on threads concerning Irish/Welsh/Scottish names? Do you say the same to Arabic/Hebrew/Muslim Parents? Bet your popular.

I agree that Chase, equates Paw Patrol (and I'm only a Nan). However it's a nice name and any name can be picked for the next cartoon.

Every 'loser' or bully in a teen film seems to be called Chad.

Bovneydazzlers · 05/02/2017 05:34

Blake.
Please do not underestimate the obsession of (all) 3-5 year old boys I know with paw patrol. Chase will now always be associated with that 'Chase is on the case!' will be shouted at him constantly.

PineapplePunch · 05/02/2017 05:33

Blake
Chase

KoalaDownUnder · 05/02/2017 05:31

Oh, please not Kevin or Gavin. Shock

hahahaIdontgetit · 05/02/2017 05:11

I like Cole.

Just throwing it out there that as you're in the UK (even though he'll be going to International School) maybe a name that is a nice reminder of your time in Britain?

Rhys is the only one-syllable name that comes to mind that sounds a bit like your suggestions. Would you consider that at all?

Likewise there are a few English names that I suspect might not do well in parts of America (I'm in English Canada so we hear both types). I cant quite imagine Simon or Oliver or Toby in some parts of America (could be wrong!).

buttercup54321 · 04/02/2017 23:22

I like Kevin. How about Kelvin or Kenny?

greeeen · 04/02/2017 23:18

Sorry don't like those names at all, sounds like the cast of the next bachelorette season. Blake is probably the best of a bad bunch.

SnowWhite33 · 04/02/2017 14:56

Blake is is the nicest
Then Chase
Def not Chad or Bryce, absolutely a no no
Dont like Gavin either
Kevin is ok, quite boring though

Crumbs1 · 04/02/2017 11:39

im seeing someone standing close to Trump wearing a loud checked jacket patting everyone on the shoulder. I dislike them all.

Gallavich · 04/02/2017 11:35

Blake is nice. All the others are kind of aggressively American (gavin and Kevin are just horribly dated) so bear that in mind. I know you're American but...

preciouspig · 03/02/2017 21:56

Blake is the only one I like

maitaimojito · 03/02/2017 21:56

Chase

Blake, Cole, Bryce, Chase - my preference in that order.

I know both a lovely Blake and a lovely Cole. I do know of a 30-something Australian Chase but no little ones.

Honestly OP, I genuinely don't think anyone bats an eyelash once they're being introduced to the baby, the name becomes the baby.

I don't live in the UK but live in an island near the US which has a massive mix of British/Aussie/Canadian/American/Caribbean so nobody blinks an eye at random names or names that are considered a bit "American" (like that's a bad thing?)
