whats your thought on the name lance

[nomorepets]

I was talking to my niece about names and she is thinking about Lance, if she has a boy we would like your opinion please.

I think it's what you do to boils.

Don't like it at all, sorry.

Lance? Awful. Boils. On a par with Vince

Pronunciation could be tricky - Lance or Larnce?

Don't like it at all.

One - it sounds like the name of an orange body builder;

Two - I once taught a horrible one;

Three - it's really hard and unpleasant sounding.

Nope, sorry. Not keen.

not keen soz, i associate it with boils

percival

alot

yuk - sorry!

I like it and wanted it for my Ds. DH disliked it though so it got vetoed.

Its a bit Mills and Boon hero - if you ask me.

Reminds me of Home and Away in the 90's, or was it Neighbours ??

lets hope its a girl then, though she is also thinking of Harrison for a boys name.

Not at all keen. Like jezebelle it reminds me of Australian soaps.

Reminds me of the old sitcom Cheers. 'Lance Mannion' was one of Sam's fake identities - an attempt at a macho name that was in fact very comical.

Used car salesman in a camel hair three quarter length coat and a moustache.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with Lance, as long as the surname isn't Boyle, Jack, or Sargeant.

Makes me think of a Tournament!

Home and Away (back in the day)

It makes me think of Lance Klusener (formerly a South African cricketer), who is very strong and hit loads of 6s. So it has good associations for me. Not sure I'd like it otherwise.
