Do you have any other children? If you do I would picka fn to go better with their’s (you don’t want him to feel left out or different) and give him an ethnic mn.

River is a pretty goo generic one for a little boy.

yeah I have another child his name is Chance

I agree with first poster. FN should match/go well with Chance’s name and then give him a Native American mn. Here are a few with their meanings:

Arcani: Destined for greatness
Dakota: The allies
Halian: Full of youth (pr: hah lee AHN)
Hanska: One who is tall (pr: HAHN skah)
Koda: the allies
Tahoe: Edge of the lake
Seneca: Name of an Iroquois tribe; in Latin it means "Old". (Personally I’d only use this name on a girl, but the book says it’s unisex)

I think the pp’s suggestion of River would actually be a good fn to go along with Chance. It’s not a Native American name, but it’s a nature name which has a Native American feel to it.

we were kind of thinking about the name Chayton

I’m not a fan of Chayton, Clayton maybe - but not Chayton. I agree w/ other posters, River would be a good Nature Name to go with Chance.
