Tucker and I were on opposite ends of the world when it came to names. The only name we agreed on was Alexandria for a girl but of course we were not having a girl. Tucker liked Jude, Lennon, Ian or Liam, I don't remember which and I think I have blocked most of the others out. I liked Aiden, Trent, Kyle, Braidon, Dalton, and Dakota just to name a few. I was very concerned that we would not be able to come up with something we both liked or could at least agree on.
One Sunday night we were watching "The Tudors" a great series on the life of King Henry VIII starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers. In the series Henry Cavill plays Charles Brandon - Henry the VIII's best friend. During one scene Henry refers to him as Chance. We both looked at each other and just knew that was the name.
The name Chance has a lot of special meanings to me. 1st off he is my Chance on of a lifetime. 2nd Tucker and I are very different people but we took a Chance on each other and it definitely paid off. 3rd with my medical history and age the Chance of me having a baby was not very good. 4th God took a Chance on me by bringing this precious angel into my life. 5th it took Chance to make me feel like I was a part of a family and we are a family. We have our ups and downs just like everybody but Chance brought two people and two families together for the rest of time. I could go on and on - he is Charlotte's Chance to be a big sister, my sister's Chance to be an Aunt, Tucker's Chance to raise a son.......
Chance has two middle names. Tucker wanted to honor his grandfather and I wanted to honor my dad. Chance Robert Howard Schinner - Robert for my dad and Howard for Tucker's grandfather.
Now you know the story of his name.....
