Honest Opinions on Blake!
| Fri, 01-13-2006 - 1:51pm |
I'm positing this for my friend.
Her maiden name was Blake. Which is becoming a common FN. She would like to name her baby Blake whether it male or female. I think that's cool.
But now she's thinking up ways of making Blake more female. And she came up with Blakelynn Marie said like the name Brooklin.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks!

I'd probably leave Blake as is.

I also don't like Blakelynn at all. Blake is great for a boy however IMO is a bit harsh for a girl. How about using it as a middle name for a girl with a more feminine first name?

Sorry to say it, but I hate the idea of Blake for a girl. It is such a boys name that I don't think it sounds feminine at all. I would have to suggest using it as the middle name, but not a first. I think Blakelynn sounds like someone who is slurring thier words together. I can see Blakely, but still not a favorite. Sorry.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo.
If she wants to honor her family name, then just go with Blake. Pair it with an uber-feminine middle name. To me, using a boys name on a girl (especially if it is a surname with connections) is much classier than a made up name.
jmho, as always!

I'm not a fan of the name to begin with. It's OKAY on a boy..I'd prefer it as a middle name. If she HAS to use it for her girl, I'd suggest she keep it as her middle name.
