Is this name too bonkers?!

[YoMommasMomma]

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!!

It's ok. There are 101 buildings and places with Blane in it around my area so it seems a little odd to me, but it has a nice sound.

David Blaine.

Not keen.

I know 2 Blaine's, not popular here but not totally bonkers.
It was on my shortlist for DC1 but we had a little girl.

Great name and nothing bonkers about it at all. Makes a refreshing change from all the Alfies, Teddies and Archies

Not my particular choice but an ok name and all the better for not being over used. I prefer the spelling with an i — somehow looks more pleasing.

I like it. There were 2 variations when I was at school. One boy called Blayne in my year and a Blaine in my brother's. I don't think it's too uncommon where we grew up.

I think it sounds a bit "rudeboy", sorry. Fine if you're nothing like that, or equally fine if you are and what to give your child a name that will be cool and streetwise for school.

Just my interpretation.

Please don't go with Blaise as suggested above, that is straight-up rudeboy, especially as "blaze" is used as a term to smoke weed.

Have you been watching iZombie?

Blaine with an i, I say :) not too crazy, go for it

Where do you live? Here in Scotland I've met a few and it's not seen as "out there".

(As long as it's spelled with an i)

Definitely with an i or its like these names people randomly change letters in to make them 'different'.

There is a wee girl round here who thinks her name is 'Lindsey with a z' because her mum always has to spell out all the time after naming her Linzi.

I might be wrong but I have only ever seen it as Blaine.

Gorgeous name!
