I always thought it was a nick name for Allison. Every Lance I have ever know is an a-hole.

This is my name and I love it. However, I live in the US and everyone insists on pronouncing it Na-THa-lee (with the english TH sound). I was born in Sweden'to a Swedish mom and French dad, which explains the'spelling with an 'H'. The French (and Swedish) way of pronouncing the name is much nicer. I always received compliments on my name growing up.

People from different regions pronounce it differently. I prefer my name in my own dialect which has a stretched 'a' e.g L-aa-nce. In america for instance the 'a' is pronounced more nasaly.

My name is Lance. It is a cool name. No, a lot of people do not mispronounce my name. But they mispronounce my last name wrong sometimes. Instead of saying "Pate" they say "Pat-tay" or "Pat" or Pat-te". But overall my name is AWESOME!

Now that I know where the name comes from and what its meaning is its helped some of my friends. The meaning is spear and its root is German in decent. Whats strange to me is that I was in Germany not long after my birth.

What's up my fellow Naomis' haha, It's pronounced Nay OH me but everyone always says NI'me Or Noame... It's a pretty simple name in my opinion haha It's so easy to pronounce when do ya'll keep getting it wrong❤️ Anyways, when I was younger I absolutely hated my name because it was different and I'd always be the only Naomi in my school; up until high school now there are 2 of us! I'm still the only Naomi in my grade. I love my name now! I love how unique it is, Naomi It's self is such a beautiful word. It just rolls off the tongue. If your name is Naomi freaking embrace it, It's beautiful.

I'm a Lance, and I agree to the highlander reference about feeling "there can be only one" when I walk into a room lol I went to high school with the actor Lance Gross, and during our first football practice, our coach was having us call out our names as we ran by on the track. I just happened to be running next to him and we both yelled out "Lance!" at the'same time. I about fell over, it was the first other Lance I had met.

When someone appears on a show and that character makes you happy you automatically associate that name with that character and that make the name the best name in your mind. There are many names out there that people don't like and just because Gertrude is an old one doesn't mean that it is bad luck for a child to have it. I think Gertrude is a beautiful name and if I'met a child with that name I would love it. Names to not define children, children define their names. And definantly don't let anyone tell you what not to name your child.

I could be positive about this name, but frankly, I don't think It's a good name. My name is Lance, and I'm tired of people calling me "Lancey" or "Lancey pants" Its not masculine, then Lance Bass had to come along..Great.As if it wasn't bad enough as it was..
