I'm in the camp of "don't like last names as first names". Also Chase sounds like a verb to me.

What about Rhys - it has a similar sound?

Chase. I know a gorgeous cheeky boy called chase

KlingybunFistelvase · 03/02/2017 21:12

I like Cole but not Chase, Bryce, Reid or Chad.

Marmalade85 · 03/02/2017 21:20

Yuck and yuck

empirerecordsrocked · 03/02/2017 21:22

Cole is the best.

blackcherries · 03/02/2017 21:26

don't most people associate Blllaaaake with Amy Winehouse's ex? just me then.
Chase is the name of a bank. I do know a boy called Chase though, I can't really get over the name, sorry.
Cole is the best out of the ones you've mentioned

Garnethair · 03/02/2017 21:28

Gavin

DramaAlpaca · 03/02/2017 21:29

I really like Blake, but not the others.

Fixatif · 03/02/2017 21:33

Gavin! Gavin is an ace name.

Words that my great aunt said when my cousin named her son Chase.

"Not a name of a leader is it, she may as well have named him sheep"

CaoNiMa · 03/02/2017 21:35

Both names put me in mind of sun-worn lantern-jawed men from Arizona.

BorisJohnsonsHair · 03/02/2017 21:38

Not a fan of any of your choices, sorry. Are they fashionable in the US? They sound a bit old-fashioned to me (as do Kevin and Gavin)

sycamore54321 · 03/02/2017 21:39

Not a huge fan of any of them. Chase is what we used to call the schoolyard game where you, well, chased the others until you got one to tag. No idea if kids still call it that but if they do, I wouldn't like to be named the same as the most common game in the playground.

Grindelwaldswand · 03/02/2017 21:41

Peyton is my baby name for a boy if i were American or Greyson

GoosevonMoose · 03/02/2017 21:44

Chase if I had to pick. Maybe it's worth a rethink though for something slightly more international and not quite so American?

CactusFred · 03/02/2017 21:47

I actually really like Kevin and Gavin too.

Please don't name your child either of these if they're going to be living in the UK, Kevin especially.

Strokethefurrywall · 03/02/2017 21:51

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?)

Chase

preciouspig · 03/02/2017 21:56

Blake is the only one I like

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...

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.

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

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.

buttercup54321 · 04/02/2017 23:22

I like Kevin. How about Kelvin or Kenny?
