Real-world considerations

Spelling note: Blair.
The Gaelic root and the general Blair-to-US-feminine-name shift are well documented, but no source consulted specifically explains the choice of the 'Blaire' spelling over 'Blair' or 'Blare,' or identifies any historical or notable bearer using exactly this spelling; this profile treats Blaire as a modern spelling variant riding on the established Blair name's associations rather than having an independent story of its own.
