Lance

I like the name, but I wouldn't give it to my kid- it's the kind of name that I'd want to give to a strong male lead in a story. Regardless, it sounds strong and bold.

Lance is a very handsome, traditionally masculine name. A "man's man" if you will. It gives me the impression of a very brave and kind athlete reminesant of the knights of Arthurian legend. I really like it. A great choice for any parents in my opinion.

I love this name, it's cute. It's good as a nickname for Lancelot, or a standalone name.

"DRAGONITE, Hyper Beam"

I will now forever think of that whenever someone tells me that their name is Lance. Not a bad connotation however.

I love this name, it makes me think of video games (Lance from Elite Four, Lance from EBF, Lance from FE, Lance from Brave Frontier, the list goes on). I am in the boat where I changed my name due to being FTM transgender, and I chose the name because it is simple and yet brings up so many cool memories for me.

Simple and sweet.

Lance is an ugly name for overdramatic chads/alpha, the name has been ruined for me by Lance Stewart.

My friend used to call me Pitch, because in French 'lancer' means to throw.

This is an all around awesome name to me. It's a good, strong manly name without being too "in your face" masculine. I personally love it and wouldn't hesitate to use it.

I adore this name! It's strong yet simple with a soft touch. Just perfect.

Lance sounds like a real royal-type name to me.

This name is lovely, however the LANS pronunciation sounds wrong. I'm thinking of pronouncing it RANSU.

Avoid the name Lance. It just feels like the name for a horribly written character with an overdramatic name. It's still better than Drake though, but still, use something better.

A hot and handsome name! ^-^

I used to really like the name Lance, but somebody I used to know by that name turned me off from it because he turned out to be a jerk. Plus there are a couple of gay celebrities with this name (Lance Bass from *NSYNC and Dustin Lance Black, who is a screenwriter for some movies). However, in a way I still like it because it reminds me of warriors and dragons too. Probably because people used lances back in the Middle Ages and there is a series of books called "DragonLance." :)

Every Lance I've known has been a jerk, but somehow I still like the name. I guess because it's not overused.

To me, Lance always makes me think of an effeminate gay man. I think it's probably due to Lance Bass (who is gay himself). Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, but that's my main association with the name.

My name is Lance, and it's not that good of a name in my opinion. It's not too common though.

Very nice name. I know one Lance and that's enough to say it's a great, cool name! ;-))

My cousin just named her baby Lance and I was surprised. I don't particularly hate or love it. Just seems there are a lot better-sounding names.

Not to offend anyone, but the name Lance makes me want to gag. I just can't imagine what kind of a person would look down at their newborn son and go, "Huh. I think I'll name him Lance." Honestly, it's a so-so name for a grown man (still kind of icky to me, honestly) but I just can't see any sane person naming their kid Lance. I mean, "Lance honey, it's time for dinner!" or "Shh, Lance. Mommy's on the phone." To be frank, Lance makes me think of a stuck up pretty boy. And the name kind of makes me want to punch something.

Lance is a very cool name for a boy.

To me this name is Lance the Pants or Lance the dance, in other words a nerd. I'm sorry Lances!

Lance Bass has ruined this name for me. :(

Well, this is my name (not Lancelot, I don't know why I made that my username!). I can't stand Lance Armstrong or Lance Bass, but the name itself is actually quite nice, I think. It's fairly uncommon--although much-used names can be great too--and I don't personally know anyone else with this name. When my parents were trying to figure out who my patron saint was, the closest they could think of was Lawrence (LAwreNCE), which I think is cool. (I hate the name Lawrence, but St. Lawrence was cool.)

Lance is a great name. It's strong, boyish and gentle. It isn't over used either.

Lance is a good strong name.
