Help[Opinions] Re: Chauncey
in reply to a message by iris
I didn't even know it was the name of a pro athlete, but I see it as very British. :b It could suit a cute little boy or a stuffy old man. It also suits a cat well. LOL. If you don't like it, though, it's definitely a no-go for your future child. :b

I can understand how a young American today might think Chauncey sounded "British", but as a given name it's actually very American. This surname became a given name originally because of prominent members of the Chauncey family of Massachusetts, mostly importantly Charles Chauncey, the second president of Harvard University.

ROFL! Last night he mentioned it to some of our friends and one responded, "Save it for your dog."
