Blaise is the sort of pseudonyms names used by strippers in America.

Fancy trying out any other names on the MN coven?

Am I the only one here who remembers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modesty_Blaise? That was a woman, btw.

I had a horse named Blaise - he was a touch of a wuss!

If you want your son to sound like you allowed him to be named by a 6 year old Valley Girl, go for it. Don't be surprised if he later takes up ballet, or on the flip side, knife crime, as a reaction to the public response to a name like Blaise.

Too girly imo

dizzydixies · 10/08/2008 09:50

my best friend was desperate for this when pg with her ds, she went with Ben in the end and am glad she did

sorry but it just does nothing for me either

EachPeachPearMum · 09/08/2008 22:40

I think its a nice name, and we could use it (DH french heritage) BUT you do know that Blaise Pascal was as mad as a box of frogs, don't you?
I think it just carries negative connotations.

A bit too effeminate - he will have to be a very self-confident lad to carry it off, unless you live in a rarified environment where lots of other boys have poetic names.

rosealbie · 09/08/2008 22:22

That could also be Blaise

rosealbie · 09/08/2008 22:21

Quite like it as a name but only know of Bliase Castle in Bristol

SilkCutMama · 09/08/2008 22:20

oh no - sorry. It sounds far too "comic book" for my liking
sorry

CharlotteYork · 09/08/2008 22:19

I think it is really cool know a gorgeous Blaise

cyteen · 09/08/2008 12:42

Bleurgh. Hate it for either sex!

Jux · 09/08/2008 12:00

I have a cousin with this name, he's very pompous but I'm sure your ds won't be. I like it.

ipanemagirl · 09/08/2008 11:34

It does sound a little feminine to me. Sorry!
