Blythe is nicer.

TheNaze73 · 05/03/2017 10:17

Awful name

YippieKayakOtherBuckets · 05/03/2017 10:13

Tate at a push if you must - but I agree with PP. They are boys' names. There are plenty of short, strong girls' names.

Oysterbabe · 05/03/2017 09:08

Why do you want to give your DD a boys name?

GenerationYmember · 05/03/2017 07:31

They're all boys name Confused

Maybe, at a push you could get away with using Blake for a girl or using Katherine on birth certificate with Kit as NN.

When the coke bottles had names on them I couldnt find mine but Blaine was the nearest to it! Change the first letter to E and that was me, was surprised to find Blaine to be honest Grin I prefer Blaire or even Bailey

Chocolatedreamsandtea · 05/03/2017 05:20

Or Clayrs or Clarissa with kit as a nn

Chocolatedreamsandtea · 05/03/2017 05:19

Blaise
Bryony
Blythe
Arwen

Blaine makes me think of the dunblaine massacre

Pemba · 05/03/2017 05:15

Boy's name, or surname. There are so many great names that are actually female, so why would you? Poor kid.

Blaine is the name of a sarcastic monorail in a Stephen King book. so there's that.

empirerecordsrocked · 04/03/2017 22:56

I don't like it at all.

Singingforsanity · 04/03/2017 22:49

Sorry, I immediately thought David Blaine too. Blake is fine for a boy, not great for a girl imo. Not a fan of Tate either (sorry) but Kit is nice (although I much prefer Kate).
How about...
Dana
Dawn
Rae
Tara
Zara
Keira/Ciara

"WHAT ABOUT PROM, BLAINE??"

I really wouldn't.

ShoutOutToMyEx · 04/03/2017 22:41

Kit is a very much a boy's name to me OP, although of course you should go with what you like.

ShoutOutToMyEx · 04/03/2017 22:40

I like Blake for a girl. Like Blake Lively.

Blaine reminds me of David, the magician.

Gallavich · 04/03/2017 22:38

Blaine, Blake, Tate and Kit for a girl?
Why though?

helensburgh · 04/03/2017 22:37

Blair is common in my part of the country for girls

bigchangesabound · 04/03/2017 22:30

Wasn't he a character on Glee? The gay guy that started at the posh school then moved to the high school to be with the other guy. Had a really good voice though!

Joeybee · 04/03/2017 22:29

Not keen on Blaine for a girl tbh. Blake sounds better I think. Not really my style. What about something else short but strong like Raine or Lux or Wren or Sloane or Blair or Blythe?

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 04/03/2017 22:25

What about Blythe?

LegosAndSkiing · 04/03/2017 22:24

None...

But go with whatever you like.

BadToTheBone · 04/03/2017 22:12

YY Andrew McCarthy is Blaine. I thought it was an awful name.

Jooni · 04/03/2017 22:10

Not a fan personally, but it's not really my taste. You might like:

Greer
Sloane
Wren
Lark
Lane
Briar
Fern
Gwen
Paige
Blair
Tess
Blythe
Maeve
