Name Question

Header25

If our LO turns out to be a boy my DH wants to use a family

Charles Prior Rome S....and call him "chip" as a nick name. 

Not sure how I feel about this. 

A. The name is a SUPER long name. 

B. Chip seems like an odd nick name.  All I can think about is "Chip the Monkey"! 

Input please!!!

It's NMS. Instead of "Chip" you could call him "Chuck" or "Charlie"

Yeah, I'm not in the pro-Chip camp.  I kinda feel like Chip is a name for the bad guy in a dumb 80s movie, you know, the blonde pretty guy who's rich and wears a cardigan tied around his shoulders that John Cusack hates, lmao.

That said, I like Charles in general and think Charlie is adorable as a nickname.

or Chip and Dale!

I know a couple of Chips who are grown men, so the name is not that odd to me.  I'm not sure if that's their name or nickname.

NMS.  Chip sounds like a name you'd see in Leave it to Beaver.

There are already is a Chuck and a Charlie in the family....

Chip used to be a pretty common nickname for someone named Charles.

I think that Charlie and Chuck are more common now depending on the age.  Also I think that nicknames in general can be tricky- when it's not super visible what the real legal name is.  Lots of teachers don't like nicknames, etc.  

2 middle names can be tough- there will be lots of times when it's not possible to have 2 middle names (it's not really allowed on my state's driver's license- I had to drop my middle name and made my maiden name my middle name, I couldn't have both.)

Chip is my grandfather's nickname, so it sounds "old" to me.

Chip sounds like someone who gets beat up a lot.

Did you ever see the movie Not Quite Human? The robot guy's name was Chip. That's what it makes me think of... ha ha.

NMS either.  Sort of like chip off the old block?
