One of my distant ancestors was a real-life Lancelot (16th century timeframe). I quite like Lance. My older sister had a crush on a Lance when we were small and ever since then I've thought it a strong, solid name. I would even consider using Lance when I'm honest about it. The only obvious downside is the connection to Lancing, ie lancing a boil for instance. It brings about images of dermatological body horror. But if you can remove that, it's a lovely name. But Lancelot in full is a bit much on a real life person to me. and I'm saying that as someone who relishes in posh and over the top names. Love Lancelot... but in practice it hits too close to the adulterous belt.
