History & Origin
Blayke is a modern spelling of Blake — from Old English, which curiously gave both blæc, 'black, dark', and blac, 'pale, fair' (the two converged, so the name carries both; routes layered, which we note). A crisp, modern name; the -y- styling personalizes it (nickname Blay).
It registers thinly in this spelling. Rare, black-or-pale at the (layered) root, and crisp.
