Blythe

This is my cousin's name! She pronounces it the same (so rhyming with "white") except with the th sound in "math" or "faith" instead. With this pronunciation it reminds me of the word "bliss", which is fitting given the meaning! As a nickname we call her Blythie, which reminds me a bit of the nickname Ruthie for Ruth. I guess Ruth and Blythe have sort of similar vibes. This name's not my personal style, but I do think it's pretty cute.

Blythe is a pretty decent name for a girl it reminds me of the show Littlest Pet Shop which was a show I really loved when I was younger.

I really love this name! I think the name goes well with….

Blythe is a pretty name!

It’s wonderful for boy or girl.

Ew, no. It's terrible. Blythe sounds and looks like a sound you'd make when throwing up. Her brother would be named Buick, same kinda thing.

I like this name on a girl. Never on a boy, though!

I really love this name as a first name for both genders, and I think that it is an underrated name for males and should be given to more boys.

Sounds similar to the word scythe.

I actually kinda like this for a girl.

First off, it took me a while to find out the pronunciation because it’s so weird, and it doesn’t look very attractive. Not feminine at all.

Love this name. Feminine more than masculine. I think of "Blythe spirit" when I hear it. I also think of the beautiful 1970's actress Blythe Danner (Gwyneth Paltrow's mom).

It makes me think of the word "blight".

I really love the name Blythe and I couldn't see it as a boy's name.

I absolutely adore this name on a boy, pronounced how it is shown here on the site. If I ever have a son, I just might choose this name.

I love this name for a girl and I love the meaning of joy. I think this name sounds so upper class (in a good way!) if you're considering this name, I would definitely use it!

This has to be one of the ugliest names in all of existence and not just because it's excessively outdated. I honestly can't decide which is worse; Blythe or Blanch.

They aren't flattering or attractive in the least.

The meaning is just lovely. Blythe is a cool, gorgeous name. It isn't one of those usual girl names ending with an 'a' so it makes the name stand out more. :D.

I find this name really unattractive. It's just not a pretty sound, and its origins as a surname are really offputting. The gender is also kind of unclear. I'd rather be named Nevaeh or Kaelyn (two names I really hate) than Blythe.

I quite like Blythe for a girl, though I'm not sure I'd use it, it's going on my list.

I think Blythe is one of those few cross-over names that started off as feminine and people started using for boys. Tatum being another that I can think of.

I think this is a beautiful name. I've always liked it more than my name, Brooke. It draws you in and is interesting. I think it's more of a girl name but can be a boy's name I guess.

I must say I regard this as a girls name. It always reminds me of Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing - which includes lines advising ladies to be "blithe and bonny".

Sounds like someone with a lisp is saying blind.

I chose the name Blythe for my little girl as I believe it is Scottish Gaelic meaning 'Free Spirit' - and she certainly is!

I love this name spelled "Blithe." I would use it as a middle name for a boy or girl, but probably only a first name for a girl. The meaning is really cute too!

Blythe is my middle name. I like it as I think it is unusual. I have seen spellings of it with no e on the end - Blyth, but I think it is best with the e.

I find it a little weird as a male name because there are those creepy dolls from the sixties with the huge heads called Blythe. But hey, I suppose it's a unisex one or something.

I love the meaning! It makes me like the name more!

I love this name. I think it sounds very beautiful and intriguing. I would use it for a female, but I wouldn't think it was weird if it was a male's name.

This name is the most enchanting to me. I love it. Sounds like an elven name. VERY VERY unique. This is my most favorite boys name.

I am also so glad that you have Blythe as masculine. I have a son named Blythe and everytime I say his name to someone they say oh, your daughter. We love this name and knew it was an old English name.

I'm so glad this site had Blythe listed as a masculine name because on another site it was supposed to be for a girl & I think it would be lovely for a little boy.
