My husband and I can't decide on our new son's name. I'm due in 2 days so we are running out of time. Our son is Colby Alexander, daughter is Payton Grace. We can't decide if Chance Jacob or Parker James goes best. What you do think?

What can I do next?

Of the two you mentioned, definitely Parker James. Chance is not a name. I also don't think Chance Jacob flows very well.

Personally though, I think Jacob Parker or James Parker sounds even better.

Parker James. I don't know why, but I like the flow. Or you could go with Jacob Chance if you really like those names. The multi-syllable first name just seems to flow better into the middle name.

Parker James!

IMO, Colby, Payton & Parker sounds way cuter than Colby, Payton & Chance

I like the name Parker although it seems to be used much more for girls right now. I think James Parker sounds much better than Parker James for a boy. You could of course use Parker everyday even if it was his middle name. Chance is not actually a name and if it were it would be a girl's name. I think Jacob Parker sounds the best of all the above combinations. Best of luck and if you honestly can't decide by the time he is born, you can name him later. It is just a bit more paperwork.

Hello, I like all your names and between the two I like Parker. A friend in another state named her son Chance, but spell is Chanzs, which in my
opinion made it hard for him to explain. Colby, Payton and Parker or Colby, Payton & Chance. I say, Parker. Good luck!

Well ones of my sons is named Parker so I am biased. I do like the name Chance though. It was on my list but DH did not care for it.

I prefer Parker James.
(Just be aware, he might get "P.J.")
You could wait & see which he "looks like"...
Good luck!

Parker James, then all three first names have 2 syllables.

This is what I think of when I hear the name "Chance". OMG, seriously, like "Real and Chance, the Stallionaires" from VH1. Please. Don't.

I'm with Parker James, too. It sounds very put-together, easy and natural to say. How does it work with your last name? Try it out loud a few times: "I'd like to introduce my son, Dr. Parker James Smith..." "Parker James Smith, did you leave this mess all over the playroom!?" Try it with Chance Jacob, too. To me, "Chance" sounds like a name out of an old Western novel written by an Easterner.
