Very surprisingly for me, I actually quite like it.

Awful.

I'm a teacher, with quite a conservative taste in names but I like it, I think it's really pretty!

ColourMeBlue · 10/08/2023 19:33

I love it 😀

A bit wet

AMessageToYouRuby · 10/08/2023 19:32

I like it. Easy to say, easy to spell, natural and not too pretty. I like the unisex aspect.

Probably depends on your style.

Actress Lake Bell.

Silly.

Is your surname Phoenix by any chance?

AuntieStella · 10/08/2023 19:27

I'm not much of a fan of surnames names (at all) but think they can work on boys.

But I don't think this one would work even on a boy (let alone a girl) as it would just sound like a geographical feature with just about any surname.

Is it the sound or the meaning that attracts you?

I spoke to someone at work the other day, her daughter goes to school with a Lake, a River and an Ocean.

Must make geography interesting...
