About Blade
One of the new crop of boys' names that manage to be unconventional and macho at the same time — though Blade verges on the threatening.
Blade for girls
As a boy name, Blade has been used since the 1980s as an edgy (excuse the pun), macho word name. In 2025, actor Megan Fox and musician Machine Gun Kelly turned the gender tables used it as a middle name for their daughter, Saga Blade. According to old video footage, it is a middle name that dad would have wanted for himself. If you like the sound but not the meaning, consider similar names like Blake or Blaine.
Pronounced BLAYD.
As of October 2026, Blade ranked #3454 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1167 in 1996.
