Blake for a boy?

[ladymia]

Good / bad / ugly?

Having a really hard time picking a name!

You are obviously much too young to remember Blake 7 or you wouldn't be considering it.

Really like it, but then I also love Blaine which didn't go down too well on here..

Sounds like a surname e.g. Quentin Blake, William Blake etc.

Love it.

I'm of the Blake's 7 camp. It's a surname, not a first name. As is Blain (David Blain)

Love it.

I wouldn't be put off by it being a surname tbh. I know people with a common 'first name' surnames, e.g. Thomas so it's not something which would worry me.

I have no clue what blake 7 is and quite like surnames for first names so not put off :)

No really keen on it sorry!

Love it. It's one of my boys' middle names. It means 'handsome' so how can that be bad?

No, sorry don't like it

Love it, but mainly because I worked with a lovely little Blake who was a real character so it has fond memories for me.

I like it! And I also have no idea what Blake 7 is :)

Amy Winehouse's junkie boyfriend, sorry.

It's a bit Mills and Boon for me.

I love it.

I am still not put off so maybe this means I am starting to go from like to really like

Wish i could find a name i love though!

Blimey, I had forgotten about Blakeincarcerated!

But so what, anyway? I like it.

Oh! I just remembered about <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?num=10&hl=en&biw=1016&bih=623&tbm=isch&tbnid=Hk6oUPNzrTXpWM:&imgrefurl=article.wn.com/view/2009/11/06/Hair_fails_to_disguise_Australias_ambition/&docid=Pqi-ObUsuxKPrM&imgurl=i.ytimg.com/vi/sVbsHdPlpoQ/0.jpg&w=480&h=360&ei=XjGYULekHqKt0QW-vYGYAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=716&vpy=245&dur=177&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=156&ty=86&sig=113912207516503168384&sqi=2&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=203&start=0&ndsp=14&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:0,i:105" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blake Dean from Home and Away! How you not call your baby Blake now? He will grow up to be a total FOX.

Seriously, I think it's slightly unusual but not weird, and rhymes with snowflake...DO IT.

I really like it. Though would be scared of it being too American to actually use.

I think about Home and Away Blake too.
