Congratulations! More Chance lines: "This kid may be kept until – " Nah. “You are assessed for home repairs.” All in good time. “Bank error in your favor – collect $200.” There we go! ---

Woo Hoo! Everyone knows that it’s always better to have more Chances! And I _know_ that you agree with me when I say that (E)Ileen is a perfectly lovely name. ---

Hey, Congrats! I think most of the ‘chance’ metaphors have been done now, but I will propose all the written names that I can see from where I sit now, at work (Second hand bookstore). Aubrey (Beardsley) Thomas (Hardy) Whatever the J in J.M. Barrie is Biggles(worth) (lol) and… Roget 🙂 I won’t move my head to the left or I’ll be able to see 3 shelves worth of names. Enjoy ignoring our suggestions! ---

A BABY?!?! How’d that happen? I’ll give you a hundred posts if you name your baby Randall, Wally, Og, Strutter, Fidget, or Vermin. Two hundred if you name him/her Evil or Supreme Being. I’d take a Chance on it anyway… ---

Hmm. Chance is a nice strong traditional sounding surname that needs a traditional first name to go with it. That way when the kid becomes President he or she will already have a Presidential sounding name. Girl: Elizabeth, Alicia, Gabrielle, Grace, Rebecca or Rachel Boy: David, Nathaniel, or Luke ---

If it’s a boy, considering your real surname, I’d suggest “Wildon”. That’s `wild-@n, not `wil-don… 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/go-ahead-have-another-chance/221753.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/go-ahead-have-another-chance/221753.md?page=3)
