Blake vs. Corey


I have narrowed it down to two names basically. Blake and Corey. I like them both but I like different things about them.

Blake-
Pro:Short and manly
Pro: Nicknamed Blakey- so cute.
#87 in the popularity in 2010, steady since the 90's.

Corey-
Pro: Not common at all right now (Cory + Corey= 1,424 births in 2010)
Pro: Flows nicely especially with middle name "Ryan".
Is it too feminine?
Is it too childish for a grown man?
Was very popular in the 80's when I was born. Will this name seem dated now?

Anyone have any opinions? I know I have lots of time but I am the type that needs to get these things DONE. Thank you!!

I prefer Blake as i think its a good name for a child and adult, I dont find Corey as great for an adult. x

I like Blake...it's strong and Blakey is nice when he's little. Cory is a bit feminine for me. Xx

Thanks everyone so much. You all have just confirmed my concerns about "Corey". Nice name but I don't think I can live with it. Blake it is, for now! (As long as hubby is on board )

Thank you thank you thank you!
