Origin of the name Blake:
Transferred use of the surname, which is of two separate derivations. It originates both from the Old En-glish blæc (black, dark-complexioned) and from the Old English blāc (bright, shining, pale, wan). The use of Blake as a given name stems from its prior use as a nick-name for someone with either a very dark or a very light complextion. Var: Blaike.

Inspired by "Jaclyn Smith"
My name is Blakelyn, and ever since I can remember, no one has ever said my name right, or spelled it right, or had a clue why my parents would name me such. However, no one I have ever met has ever heard of this name, so I was the "original baby name" in my home town, and everywhere I have ever traveled.
