Blakely Rose

[cammylou]

Don’t be too harsh please. I have a very different taste to many of you on here... for example Elizabeth, Eleanor, Genevieve etc aren’t for me at all. If it’s horrendous please tell me, without the patronising comments.

Sorry, I don’t like Blakely.

Imagine a toddler trying to pronounce blakely!

Not Blakely , not bleakly
Hit me on the bottom with the

With apols to St V of Wood.

It's a no from me.

Briony Rose

Just heard the new girl in the office is called Briony which I think is a better fit than Blakely.

Blakely is the phonetic pronunciation of a really rough bit of Manchester, the name does not bring about nice connotations. Sorry 😐

Having a 13 year old myself I cringe at some of these names as most fail the 13 year old test - she will be to her friends about your choice of name. I shudder at some of the corkers I wanted to call dd1 when I was pregnant when I tell her now she is horrified

@MsTSwift can you give us examples?

No sorry I don't like it. It is hard to say and it sound like a made up name. But then do what you want. I don't think anyone should be overly invested in anyone else's baby name.

I like it but prefer Blake.

To the mumsnetter who suggested Briar Rose, it's a Wetherspoon's in Birmingham

It's a surname.

I really don't like it. Rose is nice. Blakely just sounds terrible and made up.

I wanted to let you know that I too have made my top name Blakely Rose. Rose was my grandmothers middle name. My husband and I came across Blakely and have really liked it over our other choice, Peyton. I think it sounds beautiful and doesn’t sound weird at all. If you and your SO like it, I say go for it! It’s different and I can see my daughter as a Blakely. If you feel the same, don’t worry about what others think :)

Very American!
