What do you think of Blake?

I have a few questions about a name.  Blake.  Do you like it?  Do you think it's more of a boy name than a girl name?  Any suggestion on middle names for a boy?  Do you think it goes well with a sister named Khloe (not asking for opinions on Khloe's name just Blake)?

I think it is more of a boy name than girl, but one of my close friends has a 7 month old daughter named Blake so...I can see it as both, but still more boy than girl.

I think it's a fine boy's name. I don't generally care for abrupt names with spiky consonants, so it isn't my cup of tea, but there's nothing wrong with it. I have a friend who named her son Blake because she is a William Blake fangirl, which I thought was a nice way to have one foot in the past and another in the present.

I like Blake better for a boy but my husband thought maybe for a girl so I thought I would keep things open and ask all of you.  I just can't think of a middle name.  I would love for it to have a J middle name but don't like joshua or jeremy, any other suggestions?

I love the name Blake for a BOY! It would've been a front runner if we were having a boy.  Blake Michael..

To me it's 100% a boy name. It's NMS but I don't think it's terrible or anything.

Honestly?  My first reaction was "blech".  Sorry!  Just NMS, I guess.

I love the name Blake! I would use it myself but I already have a Liam...so it would be a little to William Blake.

I think it's a great name for a boy! I don't like it at all for a girl!

I love you to the moon and back!

I LOVE Blake ONLY for a boy. Its a boy name.  I would pair it with something classic.  Do you have any names that mean something to you or your SO or any other names you guys like and are considering?

Maybe Blake Thomas or Blake Daniel?

Blake is a boy's name, unless you are a celeb, and I still only like it as a boy.

In real life, I've only heard it on girls.  I like it for a boy, though it's not my style.

I think boy. I like it and might consider it if I didn't have an association with it already.

I love Blake!  But only for a boy.  To me, it is only a boy name.  And I think it goes well with a sister named Khloe.

I like Blake for both - we nearly named DS6 Blake, but decided to go with a family name. We also talked about it at one point for a girl - it was never on the Top 5 list, but it was a favorite of ours for either gender. It's one of the very few names I would consider using if we were ever Team Green and wanted the same name for either :).
