I've only ever met one 'Chance' in my life. The name, and the man, were very charming and handsome, in my opinion.
I knew a boy named Chance in High School. He was a bit of a bad boy and I had a crush on him but he was not boyfriend material. The next thing you know 20 years later I have a son and my husband wanted to name him Chance! It blew my mind but now we have Chance!
I honestly love this name. When I'm older I will definitely name one of my children Chance or have their middle name be Chance.

Commentary on the name Chance:
Like Maverick, Chance is a lone gunman, following the wind and seeking adventure on his own terms. Unlike Maverick, Chance also has a softer side, a reflection of prep-school names like Chauncey and Trey. That unlikely combination is a winner, making Chance the top "meaning" name for boys.
