Help[Opinions] Drake
What do you think of the name Drake for a boy?
No, it's not a trendy / rapper thing; it's a historic symbolism thing
Drake is an old latinate word derived from the Greek 'Drakos' meaning “Dragon”.
Drake Peter Edward ? What do you think about the name?

It's like Blake on steroids. I'm more reminded of soap opera than of rap, partially because of Dr. Drake Ramoray from Friends.
The link with 'dragon' seems obvious to me, and if anything, that makes it seem cliche macho.
If I had to use all the names in the combo, I'd switch the order to Peter Drake Edward and call him Pete. It reminds me of Pete's Dragon, but oh well, that was cute.
And it's interesting to me that the meanings mesh "stone dragon wealth guard".

The fictional character played by Joey on "Friends" was surely named after the actor Drake Hogestyn, who has been a star of "Days of Our Lives" since 1986:

I don't like it. The starting blend is harsh. 4/5 of it is a garden tool. The whole is a male duck.

I like it a lot, but can't use it since it's the Swedish word for dragon as well. I don't like the combo though.

I live by Toronto so just no because of the rapper.

I'm with number1212 - I love the name, I always have, but these days "I’m scared people are just going to think about the rapper."
I guess the rapper would not seem to matter all that much day to day for a boy named Drake. It might be worth having such a cool name. I dunno. Drake Peter Edward seems like a good combo ... although somehow Drake Peter doesn't flow too well for me, the P doesn't sit well next to Drake. Maybe Simon, Thomas, or Aaron instead.

Hi !!!
I like Drake!
It is simple with a recognizable meaning and a common-sounding spelling.
It has a strong vibe but it is both urban and natural.
It is rare, not weird nor over the top.
It does not need any nickname and seems both modern and sort of classic.
It is great!

I dislike the name regardless It just doesn't sound very appealing to me. It comes across as harsh sounding, ominous and oh I don't know what else, I just flat out don't like it. Yet, I don't mind the similar sounding name 'Blake' so go fiqure. /:
