I don't care for it. Immediately I think of King Arthur, etc. I don't care for Lance, because it isn't masculine (I think the same thing for Lancelot), and Lance is a weapon. Just because a name is "out there" doesn't make it cool - especially for the child who has to deal with the name for the rest of his life.

Yeah, it may be cool-sounding to you, but think of the person who actually has to live with it.

hmm
1)If a name is out there it doesn't make it cool, but some names which are "out there" are cool. As are some ordinary names
2) Personally, I don't think it's that hard to live with.

In reply to number two: you may not think it's hard to live with a name that isn't very common, widely known, etc., because you may not have a name like that falls into that category, or if your name does, you may not be effected by any problems it's caused (if it has caused problems). Even though my name, Lissa, isn't as nearly "out there" as other names, it does bring challenges often. It isn't fun, and it's unusualness doesn't make me feel any better or "cooler."

Kids are brutal, unfortunately, which is exactly what should limit parents when deciding on a name. Believe me, I don't think little Lancelot will appreciate his name in junior high, no matter how cool and unusual his parents thought it was.

Kids can be just as brutal on any name, attribute, mistake or absolutely anything, that's just life. Lancelot as a name could have a harder time, granted, but it was for an opinion, not an argument.

I love love love LOVE the name Lancelot!!! I would have used it myself, but my husband hates it, however it still gets thrown into discussion everytime we talk about boy names. Use it with pride!

I just posted before you asking if anyone knows any Lance's? Yes i do like the name Lance, but not Lancelot.

Were it not quite as far out as that I'd probably like it. I like the nickname Lance well enough, as it is though he'd only be teased. Which is a pity, it's a good name

If it was the medieval days, I'd go for it, but unfortunately he will only be teased!
