When I hear Blake, I think of William Blake:

I loved the name for him until it caught on as tryndee. It's trendiness bothers me more than anything. I'm sure this girl is old enough that she was probably named for family or even the poet and not trendiness, but in our current "anything goes" culture of boys-on-girls naming, it seems to be like just another name that got really hot with the boys, so the girls took it over. Trendy is never good to me, and boys-on-girls is also amazingly unappealing to me, so overall, Blake on a girl makes me choke. Sorry.
