Yes reminds me of the 'Blaine' in Pretty in Pink

EweAreHere · 04/03/2017 21:36

Wasn't Blaine/Blane the name of the rich boy who liked Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink back in the 80s?

Not convinced it would be a good name for a girl (or a boy, tbh).

Reminds me of David Blaine, so it's a no I'm afraid.

My first thought was Bane from batman, which would put me off. I'm not keen on Blake either (for girl or boy).

Pp's suggestion of Brooke is nice. I knew a girl called Dale at school, which might meet your criteria?

MumUndone · 04/03/2017 21:06

Makes me think of chillblaine.

sugarplumfairy28 · 04/03/2017 21:03

Not keen on Blaine for a girl, but I like Blake

RJnomore1 · 04/03/2017 20:58

I like them. I like short strong names for girls

Only1scoop · 04/03/2017 20:56

Awful truly

WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup · 04/03/2017 20:56

I much prefer Blake.

reuset · 04/03/2017 20:31

Oh no, not good. Not my taste, though, to be fair.

Blaine sounds like a name you'd find in Dubbo, Australia. Not good.

Blake is bad, but not as bad as Blaine.
