Naming boy #3

We are having our third boy in 8 weeks. After much debate, we have chosen the name Maverick Lance. We have gotten mixed reviews from family and friends. I once taught a little boy named Maverick who was just adorable. Our other sons are Kyle and Cameron. We were not trying to stay with the "k" sound when we named them; we just liked the names. Both of those names have become very popular and that's one thing we are trying to avoid with this child. However, I don't want him to feel like his name is "too out there". I just wondered what others might think of the name Maverick Lance. Our last name is Evans. Any opinions or suggestions?

Im not sure about Maverick, but i like Lance. How about swtching it and calling Lance Maverick or Lance something. Maverick just seems like such a big name for a little boy.

I think it sounds cool...it reminds me of the Tom Cruise character in Top Gun!

There are a lot more girls' names than boys' names. We need people to start using those seldom-used ones!

If he ever feels self-conscious because his name is different, he could always choose to go by his middle name. (I really like Lance, BTW)

Good luck with your decision.

I would go Lance Maverick instead -very nice! I think it sounds better w/Evans than Maverick as a FN and better with your other boys' names.
