Blake for a boy?

[sasaunde]

Hi folks,

What do you think of the name Blake for a boy? DH has just come up with it, can't decide what I make of it.

Thanks!!

Love it! Would have used it for DC3 if she had been a he

I like it too!

Like it..reminds me of Blakes7 (old gimmer alert). It's not a common name but is not really unusual.

Sorry - think it's bloody awful. It sounds like something from a 70's sitcom that the token trendy couple would call their child (think George and Mildred).

It's OK.

It's a bit surnamey for me - I thought of William and Quentin (as well as Blake's Seven).

Boys names are so difficult because you want something different but not too extreme. My sister called her son Blayke and spelt it with a 'y'. Love the name

I prefer more traditional, less "surname-sounding" names (William/Oliver/Benjamin etc..), however there is something about Blake that I really like!

I like Blake x

Blake Carrington - sorry. Don't like it at all.

I know a little Blake. I like it.

No, horrid. Amy winehouses husband is called Blake something and it kind of suited him.

I don't like it personally. But isn't it great that we all have different tastes .

I love it. DH vetoed it because of Blake Fielder Civil being a crackhead. Shame.

A little surnamey for me too, especially as Quentin Blake and William Blake are quite well known.

Don't like it, sorry.

Makes me think of Dynasty, big hair, cat fights etc. Not good.

Made me think of Blake Carrington too

I like Blair. It's on my list if we have a boy next.

sorry - I don't like it.......

Sorry, dont like it either....

Love it.

Another old gimmer here immediately made me think of . All those papier mache model space ships, wobbly sets constructed from bits of junk left out the back of the BBC and some terrific ham acting. I'm not helping, am I?
