Horrid name at high school graduation

lifeonthehill

Bla.ise Daley. That is worse than anything I have ever complained about before. Worse than Paisley, Kenzleigh, and every Aidan based name I have ever heard. That poor boy will be judged for the rest of his life.

ETA: Clarification in comments!

It's NMS but I don't think it's nearly as bad as Paisley or (Ugh!) Kenzleigh.  Just makes me think of Blaise Pascal.

Yeah, not bad. In fact, I applaud them for not spelling it Blaze! (In 2013, Blaze was ranked #716, while Blaise was #912).

I went to college with a Blaise in the early 200
I dont think it's a horrible name...

I know multiple Blaises oldest is like 35, youngest is around 8 .

I love Blaise. It is a legit and awesome name.

It is a great and legit name. I am not knocking the name. It's the FN/LN combo.

Let me add that my cousin knows the parents. They are in trouble for drugs all of the time and the kid and parents brag that he was named after smoking pot. Blaze Daily.

ETA:More clarification.

Haha yes. That did not enter my mind at all when I saw your OP.

JillJiggs

Actually I love it.

ETA: Hahahaha Blaze Daily. I didn't catch that part. Amazing.

I think Blaise is a great name, except that I knew a guy who was a real d-bag whose nickname was "da blaze" so I would never use it. But this kid you speak of clearly should change his name as soon as legally possible. That's sickening.

Lmao!! It took me a minute but I got it. However, I don't think the "Aiden" names are hideous. I have a Jayden and I think it's a much better name than Blaise.

Hmmm - I will have to disagree on this one. I don't love the name, but it's a legit name, unlike Paizley which is a legit WORD, but not name, or spelling of that word for that matter.

Blaise is not pronounced like ¨Blaze.¨ Blaze/Blayz/Bleighzzz are awful, but Blaise is a totally legit French name, and is pronounced BLEZ, NOT Blaze.

Blaise is actually a Saint's name... I personally like it.

just saw this -- totally agree

neverblushed

Yeah.  If your last name is any variation of Daily/Daley/Daly, you cannot use a first name that is also a verb.

They pronounce it Blaze which is the problem.

I never said it was a bad name. Having stoner parents name their kind "Blaze Daily" to be funny is horrible in my opinion.

Mmejesaistout

Damn. If they pronounce this name Blaze they are just...so wrong. I don't get it, when naming a human being, you wouldn't think to like, google the history/pronunciation of said name? It takes all of 30 seconds to avoid a lifetime of looking like an asshat.
