I can almost say "I LOVE it", but not quite! LOL, I wish I could, though. I don't know what it is...see, I like that it's a saint name, and I like the blessing of the throats idea... I also like that it sounds like "blaze", as in fire, but it spelled differently, so as not to be so "word-ish" rather than "name-ish". But the spelling "Blaise" (even though it is the correct spelling) looks a little "soft" to me...that's why I can't say I "LOVE" it. And it's so hard, b/c usually I'm a stickler for spelling things correctly, so it's not even like I want to say, well, what about "Blaize"? Besides, that reminds me of the word "blazer" (like a jacket, lol). It also reminds me of Blair from The Facts of Life. I know, I have wacky associations, lol.
I guess I'd have to say go with the original spelling. I think it's a great name!!
Best wishes!
JMHO, as always

We are a very Catholic family, at least on dh's side, but for some reason have never named our kids strictly after saints. Each kiddo has a name that is a saint's name or a version of a saint's name, but it wasn't really planned. All of our kids have had horrible GERD (acid reflux), so I think we're hoping that a little help from St. Blaise (patron saint for throat ailments) might keep this one healthy, LOL.
Devon, maybe you'll have a little Blaise someday. :) Unfortunately, I keep adding names I like to my list instead of subtracting any. I guess I like Blaise because it does sound very different...it's very masculine, but is a little soft at the same time.
We also still have Seth Adrian on our boy's list, which I also love. For some reason, I just hesitate to use it, I have no idea why. I just wish this kiddo would get here!!!!
Then we would know if it's a Britta, Blaise, or Seth!!!!
