Thoughts on the name 'Drake'?

Basically as the title says.

DH really likes this name. I like it too, especially the nature connotation, but I know that it is more unusual.

I have never met a Drake, only know it from a TV show called 'Drake and Josh'.

What do you think of this name? Would you think it was a bit 'out there' if someone you knew named their child Drake?

Dr Drake Ramoray! That's the first thing that sprung to mind for me!

everyone under 30 would just think of the Canadian rapper

I wouldn't think it was "out there" it's a similar sound to Blake.
If you both like it I'd go for it. Does it go with the surname?

Haha I have to say that I'd completely forgot about the rapper. Not my kind of Music I'm afraid! That's that name crossed off the list then. Thank you.

And the duck thing was the nature connotation... like people name their kids 'wren' and 'robin'...?

You've never heard of the rapper ? Or the fact that it's a duck ?
