Chad

Chad belongs as a name not a stupid meme or slang because of it.

Low key kinda slaps, love Charlie as brother's name imo.

Weird, when I think of this name I honestly think of the country more than the meme status it acquired in the 2010s/2020s. It reminds me of the name I've chosen for myself, Jordan, another country name. And honestly, does it matter that much if a baby born in the early 2020s is named this? They won't understand the cultural connotations until they're teenagers, and by that point the ever fleeting meme culture of this time period will be so far removed from their life that it won't even matter. And if grown adults are going to make fun of a little toddler for being called Chad, well that's just sad.

Most masculine name in the history of ever.

Chad is a ratchet name, ugh I would NOT! Name a child this, I would name him Bryan or something else.

It sounds so ridiculous... sometimes I dislike my name, then I remember that at least my name's not Chad.

On the right character the name Chad is incredibly cool.

I've always hated this name with a flaming passion. It always seems to go to the evil jock in movies and TV shows. Not to mention it's hard to take seriously these days due to its usage as a slang term for alpha males and all the Virgin vs. Chad memes.

Oh no. Anything but Chad! You can't possibly look at a baby boy and name him 'Chad'! It's a high school or a young adult-like name, not something you can call a kid before they reach adolescence. This is my opinion. Everyone has their own opinion, so no opinion is wrong when it comes to names.

The individual makes the name, not the other way around :(

Also, 'Chad' is used to confer a sense of mythic power upon OGs (not O G) Tyson and Fire***** and Artorias, etc, etc. #PampIt.

Horrible name.

The stereotype is beyond inaccurate, I dunno why they ruined this perfectly good name.

I like my name. I was Chad in 1965 when there wasn’t many. I like to add something after my name like Chadmantis, ChadlyRockfish, Chadrock. My friends have used variations, Chadly Duncan, Chadillac, Chadzilla, Chadwick Von Sauerkraut, Chadwicken bicken bocken booken. I don’t like that my name got popular 5 years after I was born. I grew up as the only Chad and wished it stayed that way. I rarely like another Chad. I feel like I’m the original.

Am I the only one that doesn’t think this name is that bad? What I can say is that I do agree the name is quite youthful and I don’t imagine the best things when I hear it, it’s not a bad name! It has something cool about it.

Eyy this is my step-dad's name! I think this name is pretty cool, not only for the memes, but also because the country and stuff.

The name Chad has a bad rep that has been increased by Hollywood giving the name to the blonde skater/surfer high-school and college boy who is cheating on his girlfriend.
The name is a bit boring and the only nicknames available all increase the name rather than making it shorter, exe. Mad-Chad.
It also comes with the annoyance of being misheard when asked your name and people calling you Zach or Chaz or other short names.

Hi, my name is Chad, I absolutely love the name, I think the people that name their children Chad are brave, because Chad is a name that everyone makes fun of these days, which I hate btw, so if there is anyone who's pregnant with a male baby, then I HIGHLY recommend naming them Chad! Now, I know how the Chad name is boring to some people, some people think it's weird, some people think it's stupid AND, some people think that Chad's all skateboard! NO WE DON'T! Ok!? Ok. Now, one more thing. The Chad name meaning is: battle Warrior! Have a good day:)

Meh, I'm not a fan of the meme association.

All Chads are absolute units. Alpha males in their truest form are always named Chad.

Too plain and common.

Not very attractive, but sounds decent. I wouldn’t mind saying this is a fine name.

Anyone named Chad is literally a god. Every Chad is above 6'5, has a 24 pack, and has biceps larger than your average beach ball. They generally can fly and shoot lasers from their ears. If you ever meet someone named Chad that doesn't meet these standards, they aren't a real Chad.

If I were to be honest. I don't think Chad is a very bad name but I don't think it's good either. It's kind of bland, short, and everyone sees it as the stereotypical jock. Some people see it as a variant or diminutive of Charles or Chase. At my school there is a Chase who we call Chaz but I personally call him Chad. My name is Charles and some people jokingly call me Chad. I even know a Chad. So this name isn't bad but isn't good either. But at least it's not as bland as Lee.

The name Chad is of European origin whereas the name of the country Chad is of African origin and they have nothing in common, so I don't think the country should stop someone from using this... naming your son Chad is a lot different than naming him Bangladesh or Mongolia, where they have no usage outside of being the names of those countries.

My brother in law is named Chad and it is okay. Not the most unique name but it suits him.

Stereotypical self-absorbed jock name.

Chad is the class clown. Friendly, outgoing, smart, funny, hard working, honest, well mannered, and loyal to a fault. Hates controversial or depressing topics. Likes to keep things light-hearted but will expect you to be as hard working and driven as he is to get the job done. Can be a bit critical without meaning to. Has a heart of gold, is dependable and would go out of his way to help you out. He is a great friend to have. Every Chad I have known has proven this to be true. Including my brother in law and my son.

This name just gives off a vibe of a handsome but cocky guy.

Chad for me is like Bob. No one should name their kids this anymore, it just sounds old and plain.

I can't believe Chad has a higher popularity rating than Ryleigh. The lack of flavor on this website.

Simple yet unique. It's a good strong name.

Given that Chad is a country in Africa, it’s somewhat ironic that a lot of Chads are racist white frat boys.

To be fair, the US demographic that likes to name their kids 'Chad' and 'Jordan' probably doesn't even know those countries exist.

Chad is a nice, masculine-sounding name. I'm not sure why there's so much hate for it.

Chad sounds like the jock of the high school that has an ego problem. Jock level over 9000.

Reminds me of that awful Chad Kroeger who makes crap music...

This name is so obnoxious and childish, and who would want to name their child after a country?

I'm not particularly keen on naming kids after countries. Chad is worse than Jordan.

This is a dumb name that only belongs on selfish blond jock types. Please avoid it.

This is another one of those dumb jock names. I don't like it.

This name reminds me too much of the English slang word "Chav" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav ), so I just find it unbearable.

Can't stand this name! It is rarely used in England or Australia, Americans have made this one their own. Along with Brad, Chet, Chip & Randy, the name Chad conjures up images of egotistical, ignorant, offensive, but reasonably physically attractive college students or jocks.

I always think of Chad as a big country in Africa. But I also like it as a name for a boy.

For some reason, this name always makes me think of young guys who aren't very smart, or pleasant, for that matter. The name sounds somewhat too youthful for a grown-up.

Hmm. I used to think this was a nickname for Charles. Might've been Chazz. Oh well.

Anyhoo, Chad is a cool name! It has a nice ring to it, and although it's good for a boy, it's even better for a man! :D

I find this name boring and very unsophisticated. And who can forget the "pregnant chads" of the 2000 election recount?

Chad is so cool and handsome. :]

Chad is a sexy name.

Chad, I believe, is the best name existing. :)

Chad is a nice name for a boy. I knew of one Chad many years ago and right now know of a boy named Chad who is 15.

Chad is rad.
