Is this name too bonkers?!

Blane
My DH and I like the name for our second son. It is a catholic saints name. Just worried that it is a bit too bonkers!!

Do you want it pronounced Blaine? Spelled like this I'm saying it like Bl-anne like the name Anne.

I think it's cool. Prefer the spelling with the 'i' in it.

I'd have pronounced it Bl-ain, I don't think it's that "out there", I like it.

I don't think it's bonkers at all! It's not a name that I've heard before bit I like it. I don't see any issue with the pronunciation.

David Blaine. Dunblaine. I'm not judging, that's just what immediately came to mind. Personally, I don't like it. Cross between blind and blame and lame. No, not nice.

I haven't come across it as a name but I like it! Doesn't feel "out there", but I do prefer it with an "i" in.

That's really interesting about the 'i' thank you. Mixed responses about how crazy it is. we are struggling to name child number 2, haven't had the love feelings about a name just yet in the way that we did about our first sons name!

Not bonkers at all, and quite refreshing in a sea of Alfie’s.

Definitely needs the I and the e

went to school with a blaine cant say anyone found it unusual, it just suited him x

“Blane that’s not a name it’s a major appliance”.

@tatianalarina I came here to say that too! Haha

I like it, prefer the spelling with the I but I automatically pronounced as in cane

Dunblane doesn't have an I in it

My first thought was Dunblane.

David Blaine.

Kurt's boyfriend in Glee, Blaine Anderson

Chill, Blane.

Hum.....

How about Blaise? Another catholic saints name.

There's a Blaine in one of my dc classes at school. He's 7. He's the only one I know of

I'm not one for unusual names but I actually really like this (in the sense it's a revivalist name iyswim).

Never encountered it before but I think it's lovely - especially the original spelling of Blane.

I don't like Blaine nearly as much - perhaps because it's not the original spelling and also sounds looks like a surname (and references David Blaine really).

Also reminds me of Glee and is very American to me when I first hear it - but I think it's just not my style. Nothing bonkers about it though!

I like it.

Jesse Ventura played a Blain in Predator.

Blaise is a horse’s name.
