Lake for a boy

kbradshaw9 · August 2010

I know that this name is really out there, but for some reason it is really growing on me. Is it too far off the deep end?

nms....as a teacher I would assume he has hippy parents, but hey, if it's what you like, that's your call not mine.

jenna0627 · August 2010

Yes, it is really far out there and I strongly dislike it.

LPace84 · August 2010

Hmmmm...NMS, but...I can see people accepting it as normal mostly. I went to school with a guy named Parks and another named Rivers. After a whil that was just there name to us. There was also a Ridgeway and Ravanna (girl). I went to a school full of preppy kids with family names. LOL

I know a girl named Laken, although this indicates it is unisex. Maybe that would be a better alternative? I'm not a fan of just Lake.

It's not that bad. Not my personal taste, but far better than choosing something like Jayden. I think it's gender appropriate, easy to pronounce and spell, and I doubt anyone would really think twice about it.

I predict this frequent conversation for your boy:

"Blake?"

"No, Lake."

"Like the water?"

"Um.. okay. Interesting. Sounds like you're missing a B"

Don't do that to him.

Pretty much this. It's spelled correctly, easy to pronounce, easy to say, not made up, and as a noun name myself, the kid might (no guarentee) have fun seeing his name on a bunch of park signs. That's about as low on the list for me as keychains and payscale when considering a name, but just something to add to the pot.

I actually knew a guy named Lake, he was from Norway. It's not horrible, but it's NMS.

Edit: new/knew, wow I can't think today.

jez_girl · August 2010

A little feminine for my taste, but it's not a bad name.

joanithegreat · August 2010

I don't like it at all. Unless you name any future children the following : River, Ocean, Brook, Bay, or Pond.

brookandshan · August 2010

Dislike!

HappyMrsK · August 2010

It's NMS. It's a little too out there for my taste.

I really like Blake though and it sounds similar but itsn't too far out there.

pinkflipflops44 · August 2010

I like it.

Much better than the Layk that I know.

dawnadrian · August 2010

Just wanted to let you know I'm with you...I love the name. I know a little boy named Lake and he is absolutley freaking adorable. I say if you like it, roll with it. I see you're from MN also, maybe that's our style...land of 10,000 lakes and everything...

honest opinion? Yes. Too far off the deep end.

Too funny, I didn't even think about that. Smile

I have two friends who just named their kids Creek and River, respectively, so I've seen a lot of bodies of water lately.

~Flossie~ · August 2010

It isn't the worst name I've ever heard of, but it isn't something I'd name my kid.

randalin · August 2010

Love it!

k*princess · August 2010

At first, I had a really negative reaction, but the more I think of it, the more I can't find anything wrong with it... its just nms.

Camok87 · August 2010

Its not really my style, but I don't hate it or find it overly strange. I also know a little boy named River, so maybe i'm used to different, earthy names.

MaryYVR · August 2010

nms

dana1318a · August 2010

I don't hate it..but I'm definitely not a fan.

led2009 · August 2010

Love it. But I'm also a Minnesotan. Apparently we all have a fondness for our 10,000 lakes!! It's one of my favorite outdoorsy names.

futuremrsstotler · August 2010

I am not a fan. I just see people saying "Lake.....like the water lake?"

bperkins8477 · August 2010

My advice, I personally wouldn't name my kid after a city, or an element (Ie, dallas, Brooklyn, Rain, Stone, etc.) It may sound unique but remember they are stuck with the name, but if you really like it, maybe try it as a mn? Just a suggestion. Its ultimately your choice.

My husband's name is Lake Colton! I love it and we plan on using it as a middle name if we have a boy
