Neither!

Chase

MrsGB2225 · 03/02/2017 20:34

Bryce

FairNotFair · 03/02/2017 20:34

Are you naming a motivational speaker from California?

Fixatif · 03/02/2017 20:35

Bryce, at a push. Although I once taught a horrible Year 10 boy called Bryce.

Fixatif · 03/02/2017 20:36

I was going to say 'Neither' but I thought I'd try to be a bit more constructive.

They really are both grim names, OP. Anything else on your shortlist?

MollyHuaCha · 03/02/2017 20:37

Not my style of name... sorry!

Raines100 · 03/02/2017 20:37

Chase! Chase and Reid are my 'if I were American' baby boy names. But I'm in the UK, and I don't think they would work here.

Raines100, we are American but live in London, but plan on sending him to the American school in London where there is a load of different cultures

Chase

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 03/02/2017 20:43

Chase, I rather like it Smile second choice, Blake.
But choose what you love, not what a group of strangers online choose!

Dustpan · 03/02/2017 20:43

Chase is fine for an American family! But I like Blake best

EssentialHummus · 03/02/2017 20:45

I like Blake, with Chase a close second.

pizzaparty · 03/02/2017 20:46

I like chase, then Blake. Could Blair work? Or Damon?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 03/02/2017 20:47

I think your opening "cheers" put us off the scent OP 😀. Do Americans say that??

Ilovecaindingle · 03/02/2017 20:48

I liked Chase. .
Paw patrol put me right off!!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/02/2017 20:48

OP, do you like Cole ?

daisypond · 03/02/2017 20:49

Yep, I'm not keen on them at all. They sound really American and slightly odd to me - it's the "surname used as a first name" thing - but if that doesn't matter to you, go with what you like best. I think Blake is perhaps the best of your options, though I do think of Blake Carrington out of Dynasty. Chad just makes me think of the "hanging chads" to-do in the election.

GreatScot8 · 03/02/2017 20:49

Chase.

There was a very sweet character named Chase in One Tree Hill, so it makes me think of him.

Helspopje · 03/02/2017 20:49

Neither
Sound like american names that dont really work elsewhere unless you are the pioneer woman on food network- they have a Ladd Bryce and a Todd, i think

Through have been here 22 years Shock DH less time, but use lots of British words - my favourite being 'bloody' Grin

Yes! I like both Cole and Reid

CactusFred · 03/02/2017 20:57

Blake if you have to have one of those you suggested. Chase as second.

TBH these are all names I've read in American romance novels where all the blokes are buff and manly cowboy types.

All are better than Kevin which for some reason Americans are obsessed with?!

Plumbobbies · 03/02/2017 20:59

I actually really like Kevin and Gavin too.
