Blake for a Boy?

nanalovesjason

I love this name for boys but it seems its becoming more popular for girls...what do you think?

I still say that it is typically a boy's name.  I know of girls with this name but I think it's still safely a boys' name.

Zimger

I think Blake is a boys name.

I've always really liked Blake for a boy; however, nowadays, I know far too many little girls named Blake to ever consider it for a boy. Sad, but true.

I know a few boys named Blake, but never heard of a girl.  I love the name Blake for a boy.

It should never be used on a girl.

My sister's mn is Blake (she is 20).  She has a very feminine first name, so I like the juxtaposition.

I've only ever known boys by this name.

One million times agree, but sadly, I wouldn't use it either since its becoming girl

I would only use it for a girl. As a boy's name it sounds a little effeminate and like something that would be in Pretty in Pink (one of the rich friends...LOL).

My middle name is Blake, so I'm intending on using it for a boy or a girl.  I'm glad it's becoming more acceptable for girls since I might have a girl named Blake, but I still think it's a great name for a boy.

100% boy name. It ranked in the 800's for girls and 70's for boys. So it is being used more on boys. Thankfully.

I think it's a boy's name.  The only girl Blake I have ever heard of is Blake Lively.  Blake was one of our boy choices.

Boy. It reminds me of Blake Shelton and you really don't get more masculine than that!

The only Blake I know is a boy.

Definitely more masculine than feminine?.I love it for a boy name!

I much more prefer it for a boy. I don't find it really feminine at all.

You can definately use it for a boy.  I had the same concern with my boy (Terran) as there are girls out there with that name as well.  However I also know men with it.  For me it came down to definition (Terran = Earthman...not so feminine).  If I remember correctly the meaning of Blake is about color (Black; pale, white) and nothing gender specific.

Besides, there are many names that are male/female but are still popular (Ashley, Kelly, Alex, Jules, Sean/Shawn, Corey/Cori, Vic (short version of Victoria/Victor), etc.) and Blake is one of the most masculine of those I can think of.  Stick with Blake, if you like it then that's what matters.

I say that Blake is still definitely a boy's name.

TofuMama7

It's on our list for if this baby is a boy, however more people are starting to name their daughters Blake and I'd hate for my son to have the same name as a girl in class, so that makes me shy away from  it a little.

But, in my opinion, it's a boy name.

I love Blake for a boy and really don't understand why someone would name a girl this.

MelissaOrlando

LOVE it for a boy. Wish DH felt the same.

KStar21

It's still much more popular for boys, so if you like Blake for a boy please don't take it off your list just because a few girls have the name! Don't cede names to the pink side just because of the occasional girl with the name.

IMHO Blake should ONLY be used for boys.
