About Blake
The unisex Blake, which indeed has two conflicting meanings, has a briskly efficient image when used for a girl.
Though in the eighties it was seen very much as a boys’ name, epitomized by the character of Blake Carrington, the silver-haired, powerful patriarch of the TV soap Dynasty, these days it's more apt to be associated with Blake Lively, the attractive lead of the Gossip Girl series and the film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Pronounced BLAKE.
As of October 2026, Blake ranked #295 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #200 in 2022.
