Amy Winehouse or William Blake. Very different associations!

I dislike it it sounds very American. I prefer it on a girl to a boy actually

I really don't like it. Sorry OP. Conjours up images of 90's American cheesy soaps.

Don't like it. Jude is lovely and I don't think Blake 'goes'.

Not keen myself, reminds me of Jake which I always find a bit hard sounding. Love Jude though.

Bryn?

Just reminds me of Amy Winehouse's awful ex, sorry. “My Blakey”.

I love it, for both a boy and a girl but I wouldn't be brave enough to use it for a girl - I think it's lovely with Jude.

I know a little Blake, he's almost 2.

It really suits him. When I first heard his name I thought only of Blake from Home & Away (circa early 1990's I think).

I've never seen the Amy Winehouse documentary, so don't draw that connection at all.

I don't like it one bit, really sorry. I love Jude though and don't think Blake goes well with it.

I don't like it at all.

It sounds like a brother to Chad and Shane. Sporting a blonde mullet and mirrored yellow Oakleys, driving his dad's Ford Cortina.

It's not dreadful, but not my favourite

Immediately thought of Servalan, and of very severe haircuts....so not for me, sorry.
