Chase?

My DP has decided he really liked this for a boy but I'm not sure. Bear in mind surname is also begins with C and also has 5 letters. (and is another word for criminal, so one could say a policeman might chase such a person)

Is it a bit Hmm?

I like it. Initially thought of Chase from 24.

It makes me think of the 80's comedian Duncan norville "oohh chase me chase me"

Yeah, I'm definitely not going for it.

It would be far too ripe for mickey taking - along the lines of "hahahaha well your going to had to be a copper with a name like that!" plus the "chase me chase me" variety.

Sorry DP!

He really hates Daniel though, he says he knew a right idiot called Daniel so he wont even consider it Sad

I think it sounds American too. Not that that is a bad thing!

However, I think with your surname it would be hilarious - not really the kind of talking point you want for a child!

NO.

It's very American. Very American names tend to get sneered at here, because they all sound a bit made up. I don't hate it, but I would assume you were American.

The first Chase I'd heard of was in 24 (series 3 IIRC).

And then there's Chase Crawford.

Its not my cup of tea - too American sounding for me. But on the plus side, everyone woudl know how to spell it.
