Chaz

Fine nickname for a young man named Charles. As a given name in its own right it sounds like the parents want him to be the stereotypical jock in high school movies from the 90s and somehow remain so for the rest of his life. Not the worst male name I've heard (I'm looking at you, people naming their boys Diesel, Satchel, or Trucker), but I would advise anyone against it.

*sucks air through teeth* Not my most favorite name ever, but I do believe that it's a cool nickname!

Reminds me of the words ‘Spas’ and ‘Chav’.

Sounds immature and silly.

I don’t really like Chaz as a nickname for Charles. I prefer Charlie. Chaz is okay, maybe as a full name :)

This name sounds completely teenager-ish to me. I can't see a small child or a grown man named Chaz, just a teen. It doesn't sound particularly mature or serious, and it sounds far more like a nickname than a full first name. It's also a little too close to Chad for my liking, as Chad isn't a name I'm fond of.

This is my cousins name and it suits him perfectly! It's a nice sounding, underused name.

This would make a great name for a cat.

Sounds laid back.

I really like this name. It is simple, but not boring at all. I also know a very nice person named Chaz, which makes me like the name even more. What I don't get is that it is decreasing in popularity! Wonder why?
