MelinaM · 18/05/2011 22:00

No, not for me either!

BatFlattery · 18/05/2011 22:02

No, sounds like teenage slang for something, like wicked... That is blaze, man Grin

somedayillbesaturdaynite · 18/05/2011 22:07

I just think 'blaze of glory'

NerfHerder · 18/05/2011 23:24

I like it, but DH vetoed it 'because Blaise Pascal was completely f*ing mad' Hmm

Popbiscuit · 18/05/2011 23:27

No. Just No.

DialsMavis · 18/05/2011 23:31

I like the spelling but not the pronunciation IYSWIM

missmelo · 18/05/2011 23:56

Its a saints name, the patron saint of throats as far as I know and its pronounced blaze

audley · 19/05/2011 08:54

wheniwishuponastar · 19/05/2011 10:21

It's awful.

BlueChampagne · 19/05/2011 12:36

I was at school with one in the 70s.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 19/05/2011 12:39

Horses name. Hideous. Even for a horse.

For many commuting Londoners in their thirties and above who read the Evening Standard, the name Blaise will forever be linked to Modesty Blaze the cartoon femme-fatale. I suppose it isn't that different from Scarlett in evoling visions of red.
Wouldn't do it myself but if you like it...

I used to work with one and would say no due to that (he was a little odd to say the least).

DH also worked with one but his full name was Blaise St John Kitchen (the St John was pronounced as one word so essentially ended up sounding something like 'singeing') Grin.

RamblingRosa · 19/05/2011 13:50

I like it. I know of a kid called Blaise.
