My sons name is Vance! And so funny to read comments as I see he is not the only Vance Anthony. Anthony is my dads middle name'so we passed it one. We love the name and he loves it too as no one at school has that name. Our youngest is Ethan. So we went from an uncommon name to number 1 for that year. Go figure.

Yes Naming Children can be a task, and having now had to name my own, i wanted something strong, n't so trendy but n'thing boring. end result, she won and called him Kaleb. Dallas being my own name, is a cool name, and i got the'same amount of ribbing that'seems popular theme with othe's on'this page. Is that your real name or your nick-name❤️ they would ask. Never mind. Its a cool name and i thank my parents for their originality now, and if You'really look into it It'stems back to an old gaelic name. Stuff othe's anyway., if you like it run with it. Else you end up with a name like my Kaleb

I had an uncle that'suggested the name Vance when I was born in June of 1962. Family always called me Van and that'stuck until I graduated high school and went to college when I started using the full name. I have been called Vince, Lance, Dan, and even Sam a few times on the phone. I have met two othe's with the'same name and saw a police officer on the news once, first name Vance. I like the name and I'm glad It's unique without being weird. My wife also has a unique name, Marla.

My parents gave it to me in 1969. It's my middle name but i have the'same first name as my dad they called. me Vance. My grandfather had the'same so I was number two. It was originally a family name in one branch of the family but for tradition it got moved to a first name. i've only met two people in my life with a first name Vance. One was my uncle and th e second was someone I worked with awhile back. I'm living in Switzerland right now and everyone has trouble with it at the beginning but they don't forget that It's different!

We have called our daughter 'Ila'. I am Hindu and it is an Indian name, and my dh is French catholic and it is also an old French name, so it fit perfectly. And besides, I love it. In Hindi it is pronounced 'Ee-la'. She often gets it mispronounced as 'eye-la' though.

I was named Vance by my father in 1982 which was the peak of the name. I beli've I was named after a character Elvis played in a movie. I didn't like the name growing up in a catholic community because I had a tough time finding a patron saint. I have loved the name ever'since because of the uniqunes. I sometimes get called VInce,Lance or Dan.

My mother named me in 1984 in what looks like the peak of the trend. This would coincide with a pop song that my mother took the name from. I wish she could remember the name of the'song. I'might have heard it once, but I'm not sure. having a uniquer name is fantastic.

I was named Vance Anthony in 1973. I live in the UK and know of only 1 other Vance. He was born in the'same hospital as us, but a few days later. He is one of a twin like me and his parents copied my mum in naming them Vincent and Vance. Growing up our paths only crossed once, when'the police called to re.arrest him for breaking his bail ter's! They knocked on my door as he lived on my street, when'they asked around if anyone knew were Vance lived, people pointed them my way. Now have a grandson with Vance as a middle name. All in all I love my name and people always remember it.....

My first name is Vance. I go by Van with friends but I will always be Vance to my family. i've met two other people named Vance and also I applied for a job once and someone else had applied named Vance too but I never met them in person. I like my name, and most people I'meet appreciate It's uniqueness. Sometimes friends and aquantances like to joke with me by rhyming with my name until they can't think of anything else that rhymes with Vance.

I named my little boy Vance Anthony. He was born Sept 30, 2018. I get a lot of compliments on it. I like the fact that it is different, but not too weird. It's one sylabol, that's very masculine. I think it will become more popular over the next decade.

I named my son Vance in 2017. I love it and still think it rocks! I would never choose to shorten it to Van. No need to! I have never known another Vance (and like it that way), but a couple of peers have told me they went to school with a Vance. That would be in the eighties.

My middle name is Vance, but because I'm a Jr., it is the name I have always gone by. Often people comment about it being unique or unusual, and they seem to like it. I do get called Lance, or Vince quite a bit. If people are having trouble understanding my name, I just tell them, "It's like DANCE, but with a "V". I have to say that I enjoy my name, because it is not a name you hear very often.
