No, but I like Blake

Leopardprintboots · 09/12/2019 11:07

Really don’t like it

I like Blake or Brooke though

OverthinkingThis · 08/12/2019 17:08

No. Looks like a typo of Blakeley

This. Agree with you though OP Neveah is worse.

ballsdeep · 08/12/2019 17:05

Is it even a name?!

FizzyGreenWater · 08/12/2019 16:55

I thought this was the Blakesey thread resurrected!

Blakesley even worse.

Sounds like a 1970s football manager.

Oh god no.

I live four miles away from a village called Blakesley.
It's actually quite a pretty girls name,never thought about it in that way

DidYouSayTea · 08/12/2019 16:21

No that’s awful

ncqtime · 02/12/2019 23:07

Try hard, weird, ridiculous

Sexnotgender · 02/12/2019 23:02

Awful.

PutThatDown10 · 02/12/2019 06:02

Blake is an awful name, Blakesley is even worse. Nevaeh is such a joke of a name, I think it's just trashy.

doritosdip · 29/11/2019 21:57

I've been thinking about the name since I replied. Have you tried to combine 2 names (say Blake and Lesley/Blake and Lee) and come up with Blakesley?

PineappleDanish · 29/11/2019 18:43

Absolutely not.

And it doesn't matter if it;s a boy or a girl.

helpmum2003 · 29/11/2019 17:19

No

Pinkblueberry · 29/11/2019 17:17

Blake is nice. Blakely would be pretty naff. Blakesly though.... have you even tried saying it out loud?? What are you thinking?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 29/11/2019 17:17

Bexley is a great name imo. Blakelsey is a mouthful.

Chocmallows · 29/11/2019 17:10

As bad as Chardonnay

Chocmallows · 29/11/2019 17:09

Absolutely awful

doritosdip · 29/11/2019 17:09

People will assume that Blake for a girl is after Blake Lively. I think it's fine for a boy but not great on a girl.

Nevaeh- just no

DelphiniumBlue · 29/11/2019 17:08

Hahaha

MandeLular · 29/11/2019 17:04

Nope. But Blake is fine.

TurquoiseDress · 28/11/2019 00:32

Er no

CAG12 · 27/11/2019 14:29

Shes a girl!

CravingCheese · 27/11/2019 14:09

My friend is called Blaize. She hates it.

Blaise however is lovely. (for a boy, not a girl.)

30to50FeralHogs · 27/11/2019 10:28

No sorry, Blakesley as a first name is terrible. Blake is nice but I know some people are snobby about names like that. Blakey just sounds like flaky and reminds me of those metal things on your shoes that make you sound like a tap dancer!

If you’re going to go with Nevaeh then you need to spell it ‘properly’ (as in Heaven spelled backwards) not Neveah, which is easier to pronounce but not how the name originally came about 20 years ago, and so meaningless.

If there’s one thing worse than being lumbered with a strange name that’s difficult to spell already, it’s having it on your birth certificate with another even more wrong spelling.

CAG12 · 27/11/2019 10:16

But why though? What is the fascination with trying to come up with super induvidual names?

My friend is called Blaize. She hates it.
