When I imagine someone with the name Vance, I think of a guy with slicked back hair and a thin mustache who says things like "That's right my dear. Now run off. We men have important things to talk about."
I actually kind of like this name. Sure, it's different, but I think it sounds strong, although it should probably be used as a middle name (for a guy, of course).
Vance was one of the Duke cousins on the TV show "Dukes of Hazzard".
