It's one my boys' middle names, after a little boy I looked after when I was a teen. It's a great name. :)

I like it - a bit different but no ambiguity in terms of spelling or pronunciation

Nothing against Blake in particular but I'm not keen on surnames as first names.

It's fine as long as your surname isn't Carrington!

I like it. Unusual but to too bonkers. Good effort!

Nope, sounds Council Estate.

What about James?

James? Hmm bit random.

I quite like Blake

A friend has a Blake, it's a lovely and underused name. She's in meeja though and I think that's why it works Grin
