Homeward Bound

I think of the dog in Homeward Bound. Its certainly a dogs name to me. Not to mention its a word name, which I also cant stand. Its one of those words I dont understand why people would want to name their child that, much like Charity.

That's what I think of, too.

I like the name Charity though!

I understand what you mean about the word names.
At least Charity is a virtue. I mean it's a word with a positive meaning.
Chance is just ... chance. Why not name your kid Fate? Or Odds? Or Probability?

Charity

I dont know about the whole positive meaning - to me all I can think of is a donation to the poor, as if the child is/was charity. Maybe people think of a giving person, I think of the parents saying the child is nothing more than charity.

Yes, I see what you mean. I had thought only of a giving person.
