For William Blake. That's what I'd tell myself. I dislike Brooke a lot.

I'd pair it with something outrageously Romantic, or another surname of someone outrageously Romantic.

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.
