Comments for BLAKE:
Famous bearer: Blake Lively (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).-- starrynight104 8/1/2005
My brother born in 1975 was given the name Blake. He hated it with a passion, he was the only Blake in every class, from jk to university. Now that he has grown up, he is a big tall gentle man, who is befitting to this name. I love the name Blake, it sounds regal, and classic-- theoldboot65 11/25/2005
I like the name Blake for a girl. It's kind of unusual for a girl but that's why I like it. Also Blake Livily was awesome in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! She was so pretty which probably encouraged me to like the name as well.-- cowgirl 12/19/2005
Blake Edwards is an American film director and producer.-- Anonymous User 12/20/2005
I love the name Blake for a boy! It is a very strong and masculine name. There are two little boys named Blake in our neighborhood. Both boys are very handsome, athletic and rather studly. Blake is too masculine for a girl's name. There are so many pretty girl's names available. Leave the name "Blake" for the boys. Look at Blake Shelton. Is he a stud or what?-- stlcowgirl 1/12/2006
Sounds like bloke.-- ender 1/23/2006
Blake is a very strong name, it sounds like the name of someone who will be rich someday.-- dani_08 3/5/2006
I love the name Blake for a boy. It sounds strong, rugged and handsome.-- Anonymous User 4/26/2006
One of my best friends is called Blake and I love the name for a girl! It suits her well.-- PretteeGurlPoizen 4/30/2006
If I had been a boy, my parents said they would probably name me this. I grew attached to the name, and if I ever have a son, this will probably be his name, or at least his middle one. It sounds very regal to me.-- vattenkvinna 5/3/2006
I knew someone named Blake when I was much younger. He was a very funny person and nice too. I didn’t think too highly of the name until recently, now I love it.-- Anonymous User 5/13/2006
This is the surname of William Blake, a precursor to the English Romantic movement in poetry. He was a fantastic poet and is frequently studied at length in English literature. I also associate this name with a really handsome, polite football player who used to go to my high school (his mom was an English teacher; maybe that's how he got the name).-- Anonymous User 6/20/2006
I recently read a book by William Blake or a poem or something, and decided Blake would be a really great name for a girl. Because my sister is pregnant again, she decided to call her child Blake if it's a girl, and Stacey if it's a boy - how demented is that?-- name_obsession 6/29/2006
Yeah that is sort of demented but I have heard of girls named Blake, and Stacey could be a nickname for Eustace, so...-- Anonymous User 7/3/2006
I love names like this that sound dark and handsome, yet not evil, like Roy or Damien. (at least from my point of view, this is the image that comes into my mind.)-- zev 9/9/2006
This is considered for girls? May as well go with Butch or Phallus instead.-- Anonymous User 9/30/2006
Unlike what everyone else has posted, when I hear Blake, I think of the stoner, skateboarding type.-- Emmasj 10/2/2006
Kinda agree with emmasj. Although this name does strike me as kinda preppy I'm really liking it.-- blackgoodbye 10/8/2006
According to the baby name book I own, the meaning of Blake is dark and handsome. This info might be helpful if it were added to your website.-- stlcowgirl 10/2/2006
Blake is a classic, strong and very masculine boys name. I think of a dark, handsome, athletic and friendly type of guy. The name "BLAKE" is all boy.-- Anonymous User 10/2/2006
Famous bearer: Blake Shelton, country music star.-- Anonymous User 10/3/2006
Blake is derived from Old English 'Blac' (the 'A' here is long so the word rhymes with Jake) meaning pale. It does NOT mean black which is 'Blæc' (rhymes with Jack) in Old English.
Blac (Blake) and Blæc (Black) are very similar in spelling which is why people often get confused.-- Beornhild 10/11/2006
Some of those English names have multiple origins. This is one of them. It could come from either blac or blaec.-- Anonymous User 5/27/2007
Blake is such a cool name, for a BOY. I agree with the above posters, leave this name for the boys. Why does every name for a boy get taken over by the girls?-- Anonymous User 10/11/2006
Blake Sennett is in the bands Rilo Kiley and the Elected.-- mymymetrocard 11/4/2006

Blake is the all-time NCAA Division 1 career free throw percentage leader. Blake is a great athlete and super nice guy!-- Anonymous User 7/23/2007
No. I hate this name. It doesn't grow up very well and would only fit a young boy and teenager. Can you picture an old guy with this name? No, me neither. Also, when I first heard it, it reminded me of flake. Don't use this please!-- spaz123 7/29/2007
Every guy I know with the name "Blake" is cool! All of them are popular, play sports and are super nice. I love the name!-- Anonymous User 7/30/2007
Famous Bearer: Actor Blake Heron. He's a handsome young man with lots of talent.-- Anonymous User 8/21/2007
I am liking Blake more, and more for a girl.-- tigerlilly 11/30/2007
"Blake" is our oldest son's name. We love it! We picked this name for several reasons. First, it's a very strong and masculine name. It's a classic name, not trendy. It's been in the top 100 for the past 15 years. It's unique and not too popular. Our son loves being the only "Blake" in his class too.-- Anonymous User 12/4/2007
Well, it's not a bad name, but somehow it sounds very youthful, and I can't imagine a middle-aged man named Blake. It sounds almost boyish. What comes to mind is a young guy with dirty blond hair who is sort of slanky and energetic. This would be a weird name for a very fat and unattractive guy.-- slight night shiver 5/17/2008
It's quite funny that it means "pale" because the Dutch word for pale is "bleek" which is pronounced the same as Blake and looks alike as well. I guess the words are related.-- renee06 5/21/2008
I like the name Blake. I only know 2, and they are nowhere near close in age, so it isn't too common, but it's a nice name for anyone to use for their son.-- Patricia Underwood 6/5/2008
My name is Blake and I'm a girl.-- Paris44 8/9/2008
Also the name of early 21st century actress Blake Lively, famous for playing blonde bombshells Bridget Vreeland (The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants) and Serena van der Woodsen (teen drama Gossip Girl.)-- Anonymous User 9/26/2008
Though I personally wouldn't name my child this, I must say it is a very regal name. And soft to pronounce.
On the other note, I've met a couple of Blakes in my life and both have been very handsome guys.-- _0TophasNails_1 11/11/2008
Blake can also be used as a female name too, but this has just been introduced.-- indiecindy- 5/19/2009
Sounds prissy, girly, and a tad elitist. I immediately think of the godawful actor Robert Blake.-- bananarama 7/15/2009
I would use this name only for a girl. Just the way I feel. It is more of a masculine name, but I like it for a girl better.-- MeMyselfAndEye 1/18/2010
As well as William Blake, another famous person with this surname is the children's author and illustrator Quentin Blake.
Love this name on a boy - NOT on a girl.-- SandSea 2/20/2010
It's a nice name, but it reminds me of a snobby prep school boy with a sweater tied around his shoulders.-- mrose19 5/19/2011
British actor Blake Harrison, famous for playing Neil in The Inbetweeners.-- Anonymous User 9/7/2011
I really dislike it for girls.-- LittleSamGirl 9/16/2011
It was interesting to read all the comments about the name Blake. Especially the ones where people said it's not a female name. I was born in 1964 and my name is Blake and I'm a female. So I think that I have a little say so in this matter. When I grew up, no one had my name - no males or females. I was definitely the only Blake. Then the show Dynasty and the character Blake Carrington became a household name in the early 80s (I loved that show). So now there's a lot of males in their late 20s with the name Blake. So I say to my mother, thank you for being a renegade in the 60s and giving me this FEMALE name. And I thank Blake Lively for finally bringing this name back to it's female status. However, I'll accept the fact that my name is a unisex name, like so many others.-- blake7134 10/25/2011
We just named our beautiful daughter Blake Catherine. We had a really hard time picking just the right name. I wanted her to have a name that captured: smart, classic, strong, blonde, right out of a J. Crew/Ralph Lauren ad. Understanding it's a unisex name we felt it was important to give her a classic feminine middle name. Love this name for a girl... especially that it's not super popular.
Also, this was a surname in our family, which really strengthened our connection to it. Love unique names (for girls) that also captures family names as well. Can't wait for our little bundle to grow into her very distinguished name.-- Anonymous User 11/23/2011
I love this name... I think it sounds sophisticated.-- emmie_kate113 2/4/2012
