Does
Blake sound masculine enough for a boy these days?
I was thinking the name
Max fit my needs, but I am second-guessing it now since I remembered that my SO's brother's cat is named
Max. We do see his family often and my SO lived with them for a while, so it may be hard to overcome the "pet name" association there.
So,
Blake is a new top contender.
We both like the poet
Blake but don't care much for the association with country music (
Blake Shelton?)
Any thoughts about
Blake Charles? How about paired with
Zoe as a sister name?
