With [name_u]Blake[/name_u], I prefer [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is a little bit too masculine for me personally.
However, I love [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] as a first name and I think [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] would be fabulous! I actually have [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] on my own list. [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] is a super spunky, bright, and fun choice

I love [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] but not with [name_u]Blake[/name_u]. Not for a girl. For this reason I voted for [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. You could do [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. I like the suggestions of [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] and [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] :).
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] are very different styles of names. Which style suits you and your family more? [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] is modern and unisex, whereas [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is traditional and feminine. I personally prefer [name_f]Emily[/name_f], but that’s more my style too.
If you choose [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] I would consider a different middle name. [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] is not terrible, but I think you could do better. I like the suggestions of [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] or [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] as combos.
Definitely [name_f]Emily[/name_f].
Thanks everyone. I hadn’t thought about [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] sounding masculine, but I guess it does. My husband’s name is [name_u]Blake[/name_u], so I liked the idea of naming her after him. I do really like the name [name_f]Emily[/name_f], but worry about its popularity.
I prefer [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. The triple glottalic consonants (p, b, k) in [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] are tripping me up, I think [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] has more flow. The popularity of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is mediated by how classic it is. [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] is relatively popular as well (#72 last year), but feels like more of a trendy name than a staple.
A few suggestions, if you are worried about the popularity of [name_f]Emily[/name_f]…
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]/[name_f]Elise[/name_f]/[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_u]Emlyn[/name_u] - Kind of a combination of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and the ending sound of [name_u]Peyton[/name_u].
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u] - I think its softer sound makes this unisex name preferable to the harsher [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u], if that makes sense.
A few outliers ~
[name_f]Anniston[/name_f]
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_u]Keegan[/name_u]
Also, [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] jumped into my head as a middle ground between the feminine [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and bouncier [name_u]Peyton[/name_u]. I personally love the alliteration of [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u]. I think it sounds spunky and fun, but clearly feminine as well.
