Blakeley?

Parrishfam5 · September 2013

What do you think about Blakeley for a girl? I really love it but not too sure about the spelling any other suggestions on how it could be spelt?

Blakely is bad enough as it is, Blakeley makes me want to stab my eyes out.

I prefer just Blake over Blakeley.

Blakeley sounds made up.

Blake Lively wears it well as a girl name.

I really like Blakely

Awkward to say and I Can't picture it on an adult. Not a fan.

I love it. I never really liked Blake for a girl but Blakely is really pretty. Even put it with rose or grace for the middle name and it really flows, it's pretty, and it is original. I think this going on my list now.

I would spell it Blakely otherwise it looks like a lot of e's, I like it. Go for it

It's very awkward to say and spell (either way I think she will be spelling it out every time that spelling matters), it's part of the whole contrived "stick a -ley on it" trend for girl names, and it's not particularly feminine. I dislike boy names for girls, but at least Blake would have only that strike against it.

I think it should be spelled Blakely. I don't like it... Weird to say, not girl sounding, etc.

NMS though I don't hate it. I don't like it for an adult, and that's what matters most IMO because childhood is such a small portion of life. Agree with PPs about spelling it Blakely.

It's a GP name for me. I really like it, but would never use.

Zimger · September 2013

I don't like it at all.

KatFCo · September 2013

Greatly dislike it, sorry.

Scarlett&Gatsby · September 2013

Due to a personal association, this name is a GP for me. I'd spell it Blakely. But I honestly think just Blake is nicer and sleeker. It grows better with a person, and you could still call her Blakely as a NN if you wanted to while she was little.

I don't like it. Blakely always seems made up to me it's like a smooch of Blake Lively

BlueRidge8 · September 2013

It's a last name in my family. Used as a first name by someone not associated with the family is just weird to me.

It's also a bit cumbersome to say.

allardr · September 2013

I think it looks made up. I knew a girl Blake though so that isn't bad.

Pepper6 · September 2013

I don't hate it, but it feels like such a mouthful to say. I'm not usually a fan of boys names on girls, but I'd get behind just Blake much easier than Blakely (and only spelled that way, "Blakeley" just looks awful)
