Okay, you've convinced me that Blake is redeemable. Blake Reverie? Blake Illuminata? Blake Wisteria? Blake Fiammetta?

Well, when I first had the idea, Millais' Ophelia came to mind, so I thought maybe Blake Ophelia, or even Blake Everett or Blake Millais. I rather like the idea of a trendy, brittle name like Blake Everett on-a-girl having more Romantic roots. Blake Reverie is so bad it's great.

In that vein, since I'm naming a person who will never exist:

Blake Saint Agnes Eve
Blake Rossetti
Blake Lovelace
Blake Nightingale
Blake Mnemosyne
Blake Lilias
Blake Eismeer ("sea of ice", from the Friedrich painting)

Saint Agnes Eve is a great MN.

Blake Illuminata made me shudder.

I feel like I'd rather see it with something more like
Blake Jolene
Blake Nevaeh
Blake Autumn
Blake Audra

Blake Autumn is the first combo I can stand.
