....I do think Blythe is a lovely name for a girl.

Yes,it is.

Yes I like it too.

This was in my top 3 for dd but got vetoed by dh, boo

My DD has Bly as a middle name

sounds american to me

I like it

Just hope she never wants to live there!

I've never seen it before. It is a lovely name.

there is an actress of the same name (gwyneth paltrows mum). i think it's lovely

hmmm not sure

I did here Delphine on the radio today and thought..fab name

I like Blythe too

i like it

beautiful name

Love Blythe

I think it is quite a harsh name, but then I like 'pretty' names for girls and strong names for boys so I suppose I am quite traditional and boring.

not harsh,it's lovely,like Blithe spirit

Yeah. I just don't get it. Sorry.

I really like it but because I live fairly near the place
it would put me off using it

Sounds like it should be a boy's name. Rhymes with knife!

I think it rhymes with knives without the s

No it doesn't

Lovely name

Really lovely

it's pronounced Blyyythe - not like knife

Have you ever been to Blythe in Northumberland? I'm not sure I'd want to name my dd the same as that town, hope your surname isn't colliery

The place name is 'Blyth' actually....no 'e'

Yes but it's like the "Beverly/Beverley" they are both derived from the place Beverley aren't they?

I think it sounds like a quaint, old fashioned name.

I have no idea Cargirl but I went to school with a girl called Beverley Blythe

Wezzle - LOL!!!!!!!!!!! My parents are from Blyth so has a lot of happy childhood memories from there but also I lot of sadness and seeing family in poverty when Bates shut and during the strikes. I cried when I went ans saw the minehead gone and also a similar time they knocked down the old fire station and houses where my Dad was born

Hence not my choice of name!

Beverly is the American version of Beverley so perhaps Blythe is the american version of Blyth

I stand by my view that any name - apart maybe from Beverley - which can be found in the AA Book of the Road is a no-no.

I am not keen TBH.

But as ever - if you like it, use it.

oh yes I love it
I wanted it for a boy
but dp not keen and also doesn't really go with surname

I like it but unfortunately I live too near the town Blyth (once known as drugs capital of the North East) to use it.

I know a little girl who is about six called blyth - she is very sweet, but the 1st time I heard her name I did raise my eyebrows! I now think she really suits it
