I think it is really, really bad. I'm not sure if it is for a boy or a girl, either.
I'm not sure if I should pronounce it Blake-lyn or Black-len (or maybe something else that I'm not thinking of). Either way, it seems awkward to say with the two Ls in there.
It looks very trendy, and a little bit like you can't spell.
Sorry, don't like it. Parker is great, Blake is great. Blaklen will always be called on in school with a question mark following his name because no on will know how to say it.

Re: Blaklen Parker
I like Parker.
Blaklen is NMS, but if you and DH like it, that's all that matters. (I would stick to Blake.)

Ditto. I much prefer Blake.
Ditto. Blaklen sounds like a combo of lakeland, brooklyn, and blake. I think people will pronounce it "black-lin" because of how it is spelled.
Same for me, but i really like Parker!!
I don't like Blaklen at all
Ditto. Sorry! But if you love it, that's all that matters.
Is it pronounced Blake-lyn? If so, why not spell it Blakelyn? That wouldn't be as bad.
I like Blake or Blakely better, though. The spelling of Blaklen just looks really odd to me.
Ditto. I looove, love Parker.
(just a thought - do you like the name Deakon?)
I'm confused - is this a boy name, girl name, or either? and is it pronounced Black-len or Blake-len?
Either way Blaklen is nms and I prefer Blake. I do like Parker! GL!
Parker is cute, Blaklen sounds made-up and like you're trying too hard to be original.
Blaklen sounds like you're trying too hard.
Go with Blake.

in aggrement w pps that Blaklen sounds like you are trying too hard.
Blake is a great name.
This. I like the name Blake - why not just use that?
I have no idea how to pronounce what you just wrote.
As PP said, "There is nothing good about this name. Seriously."
Blaklen looks made up to me. I like Parker

Parker is fine, just NMS.
However, it's your baby. Name it what you want.
This.
I like Blake
Blaklen sounds too made up.
I was just reading the responses, and people are confused about whether this is a girl or boy's name.
Did you mean for it to be for a girl or boy?
Blakelyn sounds like a girl.
Blaklen looks like it should be pronounced Black-len. Sounds like a boy.
Blake seems to go either way lately after Blake Lively became famous.
