Looks like two names needlessly joined together. Have you considered Brangelina? :D

Hayls17 · 26/11/2019 21:13

No. I like Blake though.

MollyHuaCha · 26/11/2019 00:14

Terrible name

imfreeezing · 25/11/2019 21:12

God NO this is very similar to my mother's maiden name and I can't pronounce it properly!

Blake is nice enough

SilverySurfer · 25/11/2019 20:58

Hideous, as is nevaeh.

PlasticPatty · 25/11/2019 20:28

Horrible.

Blackley would be better. Harpurhey. Collyhurst, even.

How about Hale? If it's twins, Hale and Sale.

Supersimkin2 · 25/11/2019 20:27

There's a thing called a Blakey which is a little iron stud you put on shoes to make the soles last longer.

Easier to pronounce?

DLaderBeal · 25/11/2019 20:20

Not keen, sorry.

How about Everly? Or Hadley?

MrsNoMopp · 25/11/2019 18:02

Assuming baby is a girl, here are a few other short-ish names...

Naomi
Bethany
Olivia
Lucy
Maisie

percheron67 · 25/11/2019 17:32

OK as a surname.

CravingCheese · 25/11/2019 12:12

No.
You mentioning Nevaeh (also a firm no from me, btw) seems to indicate that you are expecting a girl.

Blair and Blake are boy's names (to me) but they would work.

Or how about Morgan, Alex, Alexis, Nina, Annora, Honor, Heaven, Noelle, Rowan, Brooke, Robyn, Avery, Tamar, Mical, Audrey, Charlie, Rory, Maryn, Maryse, Portia or Quinn?

Whattodoabout · 25/11/2019 12:00

Horrible. I remember Blake and other names like Mason and Tyler being fashionable a few years ago. Surnames don’t make nice first names.

Blakesly? Is just made up.

Wallywobbles · 25/11/2019 03:24

I grew up there. Or there's about. It's a village in Northamptonshire.

dreichwinter · 25/11/2019 03:05

Not for me, Blake seems a nicer version of this.

BonBon411 · 25/11/2019 02:23

Sorry the name is awful

TiceCream · 24/11/2019 23:55

Haha it made me think of Pugsley too!

Abouttoblow · 24/11/2019 23:53

It's not even a word, never mind a name.

Treaclespongeandcustard · 24/11/2019 23:51

Nope

SumAndSubstance · 24/11/2019 23:49

There’s a whole world of names away from Blakesley and Nevaeh.

aibutohavethisusername · 24/11/2019 23:03

No

Thetimetravelerswife · 24/11/2019 19:06

No!!

otterturk · 24/11/2019 18:44

Not a name

Whoops75 · 24/11/2019 18:32

Awful OP

Pieceofpurplesky · 24/11/2019 18:30

I have taught a Bexley which sounds much better I know it's a place but she shortened it to Bex.

Blakesley and Neveah are awful names. I teach a few Neveahs. It's sounds odd when said out loud.

NetballHoop · 24/11/2019 18:18

Blakesley is the surname of a family I know. All their marriages (of the ones I have met) have fallen apart.

It's a no from me.
