Chace

When you see Chace, do you say it like "Chase"?  I have always loved the name Chase and finally got DH to agree, but my one condition was we spell it Chace.  His only reason for this was he didn't want to be reminded of a bank everytime he sees/writes his son's name.  I don't want to argue over spelling unless his name will be mis-pronounced often.

I like the name Chase (yay, Army Wives!), but the spelling, Chace, looks wrong.  Like you mispelled it on the birth certificate or something.

I have known a couple people with this name, and one did spell it Chace.  That's how I would pronounce it if I saw it spelled that way!

I like the name, but it almost looks like "Chance" without the "N". ?

When I first saw this and said it out loud I pronouced it like "Chase" but I agree, Chance comes to mind also.

I think Chase looks much better. With a C just doesn't look right. I can look at it and figure it's pronounced like "Chase," but it still looks a little funny--like Chance without the N.

I wouldn't worry about the bank... really. It's widely respected as a real name, it's not like naming a kid Citibank or something. I think it's more conspicuous to change the spelling of the kid than to just ignore the neutral reference.

I know you asked about pronunciation, so I will say yes, I would probably pronounce it like "Chase."

However...  it really does look *wrong* spelled that way. Almost more so than some of the really out-there creative/unique spellings. To me I would assume someone made a mistake in writing or typing his name, or that his parents didn't really know how to spell. Sorry.

Spell it Chase. Chace will be misspelled every single day. Don't do that to your kid.

Seriously, though... I like it spelled "Chace."  The only 2 people I've ever met in real life spell it like that.  Chase with an "s" makes me think of a dog.

Chace is a spelling variation of Chase. My dh preferred Chase.

NMS, but I'd go with Chase.

I like the name but not the spelling (sorry) but I would pronounce it Chase.

I would pronounce it Chase but I think a lot of people would be thinking you left out the "n" if you spelled it Chace.  Plus he will FOREVER correcting people ALL his life.  My DD has a different spelling and they do that to her ALL the time.  She is an adult now with a DS of her own and said she would never do that to a child.  Please have your DH reconsider.  Most names are derived from other things...and a lot are from occupations.  Banks are not a bad occupation...could be worse.

I actually like the spelling Chace more than Chase.

My ex-fiance's name is Chace. I love the name and if it wasnt my ex's name I would definitely use it!

If I named my son chace, this would be my spelling. It is a good friends last name and I never 2nd guessed how to say it.

Chace looks made up.  Stick with the right spelling.
