Boy, or girl?For some reason, I have always really liked this name for a girl. What are your thoughts? Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Its my five year old son's name, so of course I love it for a boy.
My Daughter told me she also likes it for a girl.

It sounds completely masculine to me.

Love, love it on a girl, thanks in large part to Blake Lively (she's such a gift), it's such a strong and sophisticated name. Don't mind it on a guy but it's nothing special.

I love it for a boy, even with the association with Blake Shelton.Not so much for a girl, although it's not horrible.

I know both a boy and a girl with this name. Pretty unisex to me.

I personally can see it better on a girl. Unisex names usually end up becoming girls' names, and I think this has gone the same way.

Definitely boy. It looks and sounds so masculine, it should never be used on girls.

It's preppy and unisex like Blaine / Blair and rhymes with flake. It sounds better for a guy, to me. I don't hate it, but it comes as very bland, like Chip or Trey or Jake.

I agree with all of this. Theoretically I think Blake should be equally acceptable on either sex, since it's a surname name, but I definitely tend to think of it as a boy's name.
