Blake

[kaylanelson]

my son is due in 8 weeks time and I think I've finally settled on a name that I love! which is Blake! however I'm struggling a little bit on middle names .. my dad is named Steven and I really wanted to use his name as blake's middle name , however I don't know if it flows right? does it , or should I consider something else? Please leave suggestions!

and also I am pretty inlove with Blake so please try not to put me off it ☺️ xxx

How many syllables in your surname?

@WinkyisbackontheButterBeer my surname is two syllables 😄

I think Blake Steven goes well together x

Loveeee the name Blake!

@DaniCam89 thank you , I am just so unsure 😂🤩

@Unicornmammy thank you so much! Me too! Seen it on the internet and knew straight away that it was the name for my son😂☺️👌

As long as you don't have a sibling called Avon, or possibly Servalan.

I quite like how Blake Jasper sounds but I would really love to honour my dad in my sons name and his first grandson, I'm so stuck on what to do😂😭

Seven

Yeah reminds me too much of Blake seven too. But I'm old.

I think Blake Steven will go well with a two syllable surname.
I have only ever taught one Blake. He was a lovely little boy and will be about 16 now -god I am getting old-

What is Blake seven if you don't mind me asking? 😯

thank you @WinkyisbackontheButterBeer 🤗

‘What’ is Blake Seven.....I feel old!!! 😩

Blake Steven makes me think of Blake's Seven. Maybe spell it Stephen so it looks less like seven?

But I do like Blake, it's one of the few surname as first names that I like. Probably because DS is friends with a very cool Blake.

The only Blake I’ve ever heard of is Shelton (he’s an American country music star). It’s not really my taste but I’ve heard a hell of a lot worse and I think it’s fine with Stephen.

Blake's Seven was a cult sci-fi series back in the day I am old

@DramaAlpaca if I was going to use my dads name I would want it to be spelt how his is but thank you for the suggestion 😄 x

Blake seven doesn't really bother me then as long as it was nothing like a pornnnoo 😂😂

Love the name Blake!

Could you do 2 middle names? Wish I'd done that with my daughter I always regret missing out one particular name I love

I wouldn't do Blake Seven.

I'm related to a Blake; they were not born when Blake Seven was around - and are not very old now - but it gets mentioned all the time; and that's without a word similar to Seven being in the name!

I'd do Blake Jasper or something; and honour your dad another way. Or call him something else Steven. Jasper Steven? Just not Blake and Steven together.

what about 'Blake Jasper Steven (surname)' or is that too much? 💙
