What do you think of the name.....

Chaise? For a girl with that spelling? Honesty appreciated I won't be offended :)

I have always seen it (spelt differently) as a boys name. I am sitting here saying it over and over and just says boy to me.

We actually had it on the list for a boy early on but decided on Jett instead. I was hoping the spelling change might make it more feminine lol

Honestly it sounds like a boys name to me too, no matter how you spell it, sorry hun! I do love Jett......:) How about Chance??? Is that a name?? lol I do like the sound of it ;)

I think of a chair. Sorry.

I know a little girl called Chaise and spelt like that too, I think it's cute but written down it does also make me think of a lounge suite attachment.. Maybe just spell it Chase?? I don't think it's a boy or girl name specifically, it suits both and at least people will know how to spell it?

The spelling does make it look more feminine however, I still say it out aloud and I think of a boy too.

To me Chase is a boys name and I really dislike people changing spellings (I know someone with a boy named Chayse, although there is family significance behind the Y).

Chase was on our list for Ds1........................and then we ended up calling him Jett ;) lol

That spelling makes me think of a chair too.

I agree, boys name.

I'm another who thinks of chair. And then gets confused as to how to say it - chase as in chase the cat round the house? Or shay? Which I think is the correct French pronuciation???

Another of the chair mob here - sorry!!!

Chair.

Sorry.

:hug:

I love it as a name but probably more so for a boy :)

I love the name for a boy and I personally don't feel its a "gender neutral" name but thats just me. When I saw the spelling I immediately thought Chassis (as in car) :0

Miss.B - I went to school with a Chance, he was a real spunk ;-)

I actually quite like it - I can totally imagine a gorgeous little girl running around. But I would spell it Chace because otherwise she is going to spend the rest of her life either spelling out her name, or having it spelt wrong. I'm also thinking that people may think her name is 'Trace'. Or you may have to explain that she is a girl when she is a baby - especially if she is like my bubba Milla who has no hair and people assume she is a boy called "Miller".

But I do like the name :)

I like it too. It depends how you pronounce it as to how femenine it sounds. Eg, I would have said it 'sh-ace'. Sounds girly to me!

Hmm, well TBH I didn't even think of chaise the chair!! Crap! I was thinking more of if it's a boys or girls name..

OceanPrincess - As for chase the cat, I'm sure bub will be doing that Lol

Freya - Looks like we have good taste in boys names :) I love Jett. I generally don't like to change spellings either but Chase just doesn't seem 'girly' enough..

Miss B - Chance is a boys name, and with my Aussie accent it sounds a bit boganish IMO lol..

MrsCricket and Forshelby - I imagine my lil girl with blonde hair and just gorgeous :lol:

Well, I'm still not put off Chaise entirely, it's not like we have a list to choose from! Chayse?? Hmm, I have some more thinking to do! Lucky I still have a while. I have a feeling if it's a girl she'll end up DF's choice if we keep going the way we are lol!.. I need to come up with something that we both love before then!!

Thanks for all replies :D

Ummm. I think it of less as a chair and more of a day bed. So I could imagine the remarks from the blokes later on wrt getting laid etc. I wouldnt use it, personally

I've found that choosing a name is often about how it sounds. Eg, with DS2, I liked the name Reuben for a while, DH didnt. It wasnt until a while after he was born that I realised Jude had a similar sound. Maybe you like the 'ch' or 'sh' or 'ace' or 'aze' sounds.

Ha ha and I thought Chance was a girl's name! lol.
