  1. My husband and I have never personally known anyone named Chase so we liked it.

  2. We gave the name chase because we both thought it was a beautiful name

  3. 9/16/21 my Chase was born. He’s lived up to his name because all I do is chase him around. My husband came up with the name … we are both big baseball fans and he came home from work one day and said “I have a name I like but I hate who it’s associated to.” (Chase Utley). I said well forget Chase Utley because now it’s our sons name! I had a hard time coming up with a boys name I liked.

  4. We chose the name of Christmas morning

  5. Funko pops that have “Chase” stickers are rarer items, so my husband wanted to remind Chase that he is a RARE find and very special.

  6. goated name

  7. We asked each grandmother separately to pick out a name both came up with Chase. It also means Hunter/Tracker and we are huge outdoor fans

  8. I named my child Chase because he was conceived at a Chase bank. Did it in the vault while checking our safety deposit box.

  9. My husband and I picked Chase just because we loved it! Our son’s full name is Robert Chase. Robert is my husband’s name as well as his father so we wanted to keep Robert!

  10. Born 10/11/12 this little boy has my heart. He’s amazing and it goes well with his twin sister Chloe’s name. Same amount of letters, same ch, perfect but not too similar sounding . <3

  11. It was one of the few names my husband and I agreed on. I like that it is similar to my daughter’s name and flows well with it.

  12. My son Chase was born in 1995. I buried him 8.8.2017. Hold on tight and don’t ever let your Chase go. Forever22. Forever my baby. Thousands of moments just taken for granted…bc I assumed there’d be thousands more. ?

  13. Named after his father

  14. I named my baby boy chase cause my older kids like a cartoon called paw patrol plus his first and middle name nobody else has

  15. My nephew said chase and me and the father chose it cuz we liked it with his middle name which is his fathers middle name. And my nephew got it from paw patrol and we love his name his father actually picked his name out

  16. Because I like that name

  17. My ex-wife & I had two children one boy & one girl Web wanted to have uncommon names. That’s how we came up with Chase’s name.
