Blake?

[ladymia]

And yes, I know it's a surname as a name that does not bother me :)

Thoughts on Blake for a boy?

I think it's lovely - it's got a little bit of a hippy feel to it. I had an American friend called Blake when I was at college (though she was female).

I know a truly lovely 4 year old boy called Blake his middle name is William

Reminds me of a character from Home and Away in the 90s.

Carrington?

Dynasty 1980s.

Don't like, sorry. Have an old friend in real life who has one. Would never say it to her face though.

I like it.

Horrible.

Reminds me of Flake. However, am on a diet so I see chocolate everywhere.

How about Clarke? Similar but stronger?

I like it.

I'm not keen on it as a first name, sorry.

a bit Home-And-Away teen soap star-ish for me (I'm an 80s child lol)

My friend nearly had it as her sons name but she couldn't get Amy winehouse boyfriend out of her head.

nasty

Oh god sorry if I've just put that image in your head.

its my daughters middle name!!
prefer it for a girl i think.

No.

And for a girl? Why would you, when there are so many beautiful proper girls' names out there?

It's Blake Lively from ... whatever that US TV programme was - spoilt brats all bitching about each other & nicking boyfriends. Too trendy.

I like it and am usually very traditional. It just flows nicely!

I love it, would use it for my bump except I've already given it to my dog!!

yes - dog's name!..or aussie soap name

I want to be talked out of the name Blake but none of the above reasons really put me off maybe i really like it and that's a good thing :)

Think how it will sound if someone without a cut glas accent says it - ( snob emoticon) BLIKE!

a friend of mine has a Blake. it's sounds good. they also have Nina
