It definitely is a thing as a female name, Though the only notable bearer I could find for the name (who is a female) is Blake Lively. It sounds too masculine, but you could pair it with a name that has a "x" or "k" sound. Some examples:
Alexis Blake
Katherine Blake
Roxanne Blake
I assume it's not what you were going for, but a more feminine alternative is Bianca or Brooke.

I think its handsome but do not like it on a girl.

I don't like it at all on a girl, as I find Blake as a handsome, masculine name (though, it's not one of my absolute favorites).

I don’t like it for a girl (I can barely tolerate it on a boy). On a girl, it sounds like the head cheerleader in a 2000s teen movie.

I like it :) I also think it works really well as a middle name. Particularly with 3 syllable names I've noticed -

It could be in my head but they all give off leading lady vibes to me :)

I love it on a girl. On a boy is fine as well, though.

It's alright, it doesn't look too masculine, and I agree with Higuma, it's not different from Brooke. However, I like it better on a boy.

I don't really like it on a girl.

Absolutely not. Hate it for a girl, but also hate it in general.
Blake is part of the yuppy crowd with Chad and Brock.

Just another lnfn; tedious.

I don’t like Blake for a girl but I tolerate it on a boy.

Extremely boring.

Hate is not too strong a word. It's barely tolerable on a boy it's a felonious assault on a girl.

Don't like it for a girl

I don’t like the name Blake for either gender.

I actually really like it. Gives cool girl vibes.

And it's not too different from Brooke.

I hate Blake for a girl.

It is a very blunt name and kinda white bread. It isn't my style, but it isn't bad.
