Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on the name Blake for a girl?
in reply to a message by Guest
tl;dr - 5/10 decent but doesn't appeal to me personally
Trying to think of it as likeable...
It has a crisp and light punch to the sound, like saying "great!" and so kinda gives me a flip/carefree yet tidy/buttoned-up vibe, like, all wrapped up, no work left to do! A little bit like Blythe.
It would seem well-suited to a person with a sardonic wit.
I personally don't much like the sound and feeling I get from it, though. I think both Blair and Laken are more appealing, said aloud.
Blake as a first name just seems rather casual and impersonal to me - almost like military fatigues.
Same if it is on a guy vs on a gal. It seems genderless, but in a way that is adaptable to the bearer's sex, not as neutering / uni-sex as some names are.
