[Opinions] Lancelot
I met a guy today named Lancelot, he goes by Lance though. I thought it was really cool to actually meet someone named Lancelot, it's certainly not a name you hear often. What do you think?

I like Lancelot, but others would find it too fantastical so I wouldn't use it. Lance is a great fall back name though, so if someone really wanted to use it I wouldn't try to persuade them elsewhere.

Love it love it love it! Yay for the guy named Lancelot! It's been on my list for 20yr, and no one IRL ever takes me seriously about it, damn it.I have long maintained that if I had twin boys they would be Lancelot and D'Artagnan, nn Lance and Dart.

I like the sound, and I definitely like that his parents had the guts to pick a name that unusual. Lancelot the myth character isn't exactly the best of namesakes though - serial adulterer with his best friend's wife?Still an awesome name as names go. I'd definitely rather be/meet a Lancelot than yet another Caden/Jaden/Ayden/etc.

That's really cool! Now I won't feel silly if I name my son Lancelot! It's been a fave for a while, but Caspian Lancelot is too much. Charles Lancelot sounds good though!

I went to school with a Lancelot, he hated his name (with his lastname though, it was a bit of a joke). He used to insist everyone call him Lance.

I admire the parents courage, but I just think of an adulterer and also war and violence - same with Lance. Maybe I'm too historical and unromantic lol.

Oh, it's one of my absolute favorites! Unfortunately, I moved it to GP because lots of people said it was a bit too much. But now that I know there actually is someone named Lancelot, I think I'll go add it to my PNL again! Woo!
