Comments for the name Blaine

Yay! I'm the first one to comment! lol. Well I think that Blaine is a unique name. In fact, I've only known one Blaine in my entire life! Well I think this name yells out UNIQUE, and I highly recommend using it as a boy's name.

I find the name Blaine rather plain.

Since the only connection I have to this name is the character in Pretty in Pink, I really don't like Blaine. It sounds pretentious, and I personally am not fond of the "blah" sound.

I love the name Blaine. Blaine is a very handsome name, when I think of someone with the name Blaine I think of a guy who is very good looking!

I personally don't like this name, not even for a pet. But I guess it is good for a made up name!

Blaine Wise is a contestant on the show "Kid Nation".

It's my brother's name, but I've also heard of it being used for girls. It's also cool spelled Blayne.

I like this name a lot, but I like it better spelled Blayne.

A famous bearer is American illusionist David Blaine.

Personally I like the name Blaine. Not only is this my middle name, but I prefer to go by it over my first name. It also disturbs me that two people completely insulted my name.

Isn't blain another word for a sore filled with pus? Bleargh.

Commenter above me: No.

Awful.

Blaine was the name of the Andrew McCarthy character in Pretty in Pink.

"Blaaaaane, his name is Blaaane? That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"

Despite the negative comments, I like it. It's different but not bizarre. Unfortunately, it does rhyme with plain. I think it becomes much more usable if paired with a more accepted name like Jonathan, Matthew, William, etc.

Blaine Anderson is a character on Glee.

Blaine the Train from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

I like the name but I'm not sure it's useable at this point in American society.

Nice name, but Stephen King ruined it for me. Now it just calls to mind psychokiller monorail trains...

'Blaine' can also be spelled 'Blayne.' It can also be a girl's name.

I think that this name is a bit too feminine for a boy, though.

Reminds me of the guy from glee, and I don't even watch that show.
