Comments for the name Chase

I LOVE this name! This is a totally cute name for a boy.

This could also be a feminine name, but I think it is better on a boy.

A girl I know named her son *Chase* and all I can say is, it makes me think of a dog running after a stick that's just been thrown. Methinks it's much better as a surname.

My son is named Chase and it fits him very well as he is a very active fellow. The phrase "chasing Chase" is a frequent one in our household. ;)

My friend is named Alexa Chase, and she goes by Chase. I think Alexa is prettier and she wants people to call her that now, but everyone's already used to calling her Chase, haha.

I like this name for both a girl and a boy. It's so cute and different! They sound like a fun lil troublemaker. tee-hee =)

I have always liked the sound of the name Chase. For me it is a total boys name.

People are naming their kids this? Who and where are they? I know four dogs with this namesake!

It's just a word!

It's adorable for a little boy, but I also know a few hot guys with this name, and it totally works.

I love this name, I named my guinea pig this. Mainly because I was reading a book with a character named Sunchaser in it, and I thought that was really cool. So his real name is Sunchaser, but I call him Chase. ^-^
And also because when he was a baby he was always running away from me, so I had to Chase him. :P.

Love the name Chase! This is our future son's name. He will join sisters Callista and Sienna. I think Chase is a prefect choice since it's sophisticated and simple. It's strong, but smooth sounding.

I adore this name for a boy!

Chase! Come back here!
This name is hilarious.

I love this name. I think it's really nice. And I love it for a boy, or for a girl. I think it sounds nice on both genders.

It's a word to me. And how are you going to tell Chase to stop running around in the house?

I love this name! It just sounds so strong and handsome.

I named my second son Chase. To me it is charming for a small boy and very masculine for when he gets older.

As a surname, Dr. Robert Chase from "House". He is mostly (if not always) called by his surname.

I think this would be a good name if it wasn't used so much, and I think this should never be used for girls just because it isn't very girly and it doesn't sound gentle like girl's names should.

This is a name for little boys and immature frat boys, not for grown-ups. The name sounds corny on anyone past the age of 15, quite frankly, and it's hard to imagine someone very intelligent named Chase. A man with this name might have to struggle for credibility.

Another variant of this name is Chace, pronounced the same way but doesn't look so much like the word.

In the children's TV show, Zoey 101, Zoey's love interest is called Chase Matthews.

This is now one of my favorite names. I personally prefer it for a younger brother. I know a kid named Chase and I can definitely see it still fitting him when he's older.

It's cute and playful I guess, and a little bit different, but it sounds too preppy and yuppy to me, personally. It sounds like the name of a half-wit baby-face teen heartthrob. The linebacker on the varsity football team, maybe. Too cutsey. For some reason, I think it's kind of cool for a girl though -- kind of in the same vein as Bennett, Baily, Madison, etc.

One famous person with this name is Chase Utley, 2nd baseman for the Phillies, and one of the best-known baseball players today!

Such a sexy name. Even if it is also a verb.

There is a character called Chase Young in a cartoon called Xiaolin Showdown.

Christopher CHACE Crawford is an American actor best known for his role as Nate Archibald in Gossip Girl.

I like the name Chase, for a dog. For a person? Unless it's a surname, not so much. Would make for a good stage name though.

I find it too popular to use for a first name, but it's a great middle name for a boy.

In the world of sports, Chase Utley of the Phillies baseball team is a very famous bearer, and he is THE Man. Serious, dedicated, and calm under pressure. To me, this name implies a cool athleticism.

My 4 year old daughter is named Chase. We chose this name because we really thought we were having a boy & it's a family name on my husband's side. It is his mother's maiden name, my husband's middle name & both my brother in law's middle names. When we found out we were having a girl, I wanted to name her Lucienne (my grandmother's name) Chase but my husband already had his heart set on Chase. Although she's always mistaken for a boy until people see her, I love her name. It's unique & because we didn't choose it due to the trend of naming girls boyish surnames right now, it's meaningful as well! It fits her so well, we call her Chasey. Also, there is a female supreme court justice (in CT where we are from) named Chase! In a time when people are naming their kids "Pilot Inspektor" Chasey is adorable, and meaningful to us!

Another spelling is Chace, Chace Crawford bears this name but his full name is Christopher Chace Crawford.

My name is Chase and I'm a girl. I know another girl with the same name as well, so it's not that uncommon. I quite like it, though as a kid, the whole "chasing Chase" thing did get really annoying. Also, people have a tendency to misspell my name (I know, weird. People always want to spell it with a c instead of an s), or even give me a new name. "Hi, my name is Chase." "Oh, hello Tracy!" Anyways, if you seriously like the name, use it. It really doesn't matter if it's supposed to be a "boys name".

This name is pathetic because it's a verb. It's also getting too popular. And it ceases to be cute after age five. It's a little kid's name in my opinion - not very mature-sounding.

I've always thought Chase is short for Charles, but I guess not.

I don't like it for a boy because it is so, so popular but I adore it for a girl. It's so cute, spunky, and slightly different for a girl. I've never personally met a female Chase myself but I know of a little girl named Chaselyn.

Chase is a nickname turned surname and most recently given a given name, originating from the French word Chasseur, meaning "hunter". (Chasseur was derived from the Old French word Chacier, so variant spelling Chace is legitimate.) The name Chasseur was given to regiments of French light infantry and cavalry troops which were created in the mid 1700's. Before this time, it was used in light of hunting parties, and the name was strictly given to men, as women did not hunt. It is similar and comparable to English occupational surnames and also the name Jäger/Jagger, which is the German word for "hunter" and was also the name given to German light infantry around the same time Chasseur came into military use for the French.

In the movie Resident Evil: Extinction, Chase was a a member of Claire Redfield's convoy. His character was played by actor Linden Ashby.

Chase Daniel (full name William Chase Daniel) is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints in the NFL.

Chase Cameron Utley is a second baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB.

All it does is remind me of comedian Chevy Chase and the Chase Manhattan Bank.

Not to mention Kiss Chasey ...

I can't take it seriously, sorry.

The name Chase is cool, maybe because I knew a boy called Chase who was cool.

"Chase"... It is not a name that grows with the bearer. Parents who have decided upon this name and myself much have horribly different opinions an views as far as how it sounds, means, usage, and the origin. Not only is it truly derived from a surname that was originally a word (and still is), it has been seen as a suitable dog name for how long? Would you name your daughter "Frufru"? "Chase" is a name that has no professionality, no veins that would catch a prospective boss' eye. Chase Smith-- a lawyer? Chase Ferris-- a doctor?

Please choose a name that will not harm your son's success-- choose one that will aid, and that he will thank you for later in life.

How silly.

To all the people that are saying how it's a "dog's name" a "verb" or "just plain silly on a human", come on, have a little imagination. It's a cool, funky name, for boy or girl, though personally I only know boys named Chase. In fact, one of my best friends is named Chase, and he is definitely an intelligent, mature guy. I can definitely see him being taken seriously when he's older, too. So if you like the name, use it. It's a good one.

Chase Utley (an American baseball player).

Can also be a nickname for Charles.

I've known two Chases, one boy and one girl. I've always wondered what this name meant, but I thought it wouldn't actually be related to the English verb "to chase," which I now know it is. A cute name for a girl might be CHASE-HOPE or CHASE-FAITH or anything else one might Chase, like CHASE-FELICITY. An absolutely cruel name for a boy would be CONSTANT CHASE! Hahaha...

Chase for a boy- not a big fan... Chase for a girl- absolutely intolerable.
