Thoughts?

Amy Winehouse or William Blake. Very different associations!

mamalovesmojitos · 23/10/2016 08:57

Love it.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/10/2016 09:57

Sorry OP, I really don't like it.

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/10/2016 12:23

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

LuckySantangelo1 · 24/10/2016 12:29

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.

KoalaDownUnder · 25/10/2016 16:15

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

Isitjustmeorisiteveryoneelse · 25/10/2016 16:25

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

Love it
