sounds like a euphemism for a penis

weepootle · 23/03/2010 14:19

Probably the worst boys name ever.

I know a baby Lancelot.

He's terribly sweet with a terrible name!

MamaLazarou · 23/03/2010 14:46

I like it: it makes a nice change from the ever-expanding sea of Jacks, Joshuas and Jameses.

It's what you do to a boil. It's a god awful name - but I am biased as I was at school with an annoying Lance (the Prance) friend of Aubery the Strawberry. Yes............ we were puerile

pimskie · 23/03/2010 15:15

Love it. But then again I might be biased as it's my son's middle name.

CaptainPicardsPineapple · 23/03/2010 16:52

A boil? Painful.

shushpenfold · 23/03/2010 17:02

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TTH to be 'manly' is what it suggests to me. Reminds me of a Cheers episode where Sam called himself Lance Mannion to impress some conquest of his.

My grandad's brother was Uncle Lance (short for Lancelot, except they pn'd it Lans-lut apparently)

It's a bit Vince, isn't it? Which isn't very nice.

Ooh! Quite like it. Lance Armstrong, v muscular

said · 23/03/2010 18:20

Lance - prance. Not good.

AllieW · 24/03/2010 18:45

Not so keen - I instantly thought of Home and Away too. However, I could be persuaded by Lancelot (I had an ex-colleague by that name). After all if Arthur is making a comeback, I don't see why not.....

Hullygully · 24/03/2010 18:46

Lance is both classic and timeless and suggests litheness and grace.

crumpetsolo · 24/03/2010 19:42

I think boil too, sorry. Or Lance Armstrong, who is a bit of a git.
