Chantry for a boy?

Question

What do you think of the name Chantry ?
For a little boy?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Something about it sounds feminine to me. What about Gentry instead? It's close and is a more common word, although still not a common name.

Also consider that this little boy will eventually be a teenager and an adult, so you don't want something silly (I don't think that Chantry is silly, I was meaning things like "Bluebell").

Answer 3

Operative term in your question: "For a little boy"

Do you anticipate him being a "little boy" forever? Or do you want him to be ashamed and embarassed of his name when he is 25 years old and trying to introduce himself to another man.

Enough with these girly, sissy boys names! Please.. This generation doesn't deserve this.

Answer 4

I think it doesnt sound like a name. Try something a little more common.. Charlie, Chauncey, Chandler, Christopher... good luck

Answer 5

its a cool name but it sounds a little on the girly side if you ask me...really cool name though

Answer 6

I'm not liking it because I'm not sure if I'm even pronouncing it correctly which will be hard for teachers. also it kind of sounds femmy. but ultimately it is your baby so its up to you congrats on your new arrival if he's yours

Answer 7

Not so much. When I look at the spelling, I feel like it should be a girl. BTW--how do you pronounce it?

Answer 8

Well i hope you have a girl because it sounds like it could be the name of a princess........Princess Chantry!

Answer 9

i think it sounds pretty girlie. How about the name channing?

Answer 10

I am just going to be honest. i think it's beautiful but just a little feminine. depending on how you pronounce it, ch or sh.

Answer 11

nice name
