Chase....for a girl?
I'm not a fan of boys names on girls, but I just realized that I really liked Chase. For a girl. What do you think? Does it work or is it just as bad as Jaden, Mackenzie, Adrian etc on girls?

I'll be the first to say...I don't mind it one bit on a girl. I have an equal amount of male and female references for the name Chase so it's easy for me to picture it on a girl. Also, it makes me think of Chayse Dacoda

It's awful, sorry.
I don't care for it much on boys, either. It always sounds like a command with whatever middle name you use. Chase James. Chase Michael. Even worse with word names: Chase Justice. Chase Storm. Chase Danger (eyeroll)

Personally, I think it's much worse than Jaden, Mackenzie, and Adrienne on girls. But I think it's pretty bad on boys too. Sorry!

It sounds very masculine to me. I don't like it for a girl at all.

I don't like it on a boy either, and find it really unfeminine.

Chase the girl.Need I say more? LolReally, on a boy I think he's named after a bank - it's like naming someone Bentley or Kennedy, IMO. Pretentious. But on a girl I think of the word, because I still have not totally adjusted to surnames as personal names on girls.The superficial sound of it would be great as a girl name, otherwise, though.

Yeah I guess I think about the sound a lot more than its actual meaning since English isn't my first language. Of course I'm aware of what it means, but for me its more like a name than a word.
Perhaps that's why I can see it on a girl while others can't.

No, I don't think it works. It's all boy to me.

No. It's not feminine, and it reminds me of chaste, which is... no.
