Boys name to go with Spike

92 replies

So. DS' name is Spike and DC2 will be arriving next year. We had a very tough time finding boys names we liked first time round, so thought we'd better get started on finding another boys name, although gender is currently unknown.

I was thinking of going with the Comedians of the 50s/60s theme (Lenny, Woody, Sid), but couldn't find anything I liked. Also not sure "themes" is the best way to go when naming a baby!

Spike is obviously quite a punchy name and I want DC2's name to be able to hold it's own.

Names ending in an "O" sound are out as they sound terrible with our surname.

I've spent two weeks idly browsing names and not found ONE that I liked Hmm.

This is going to be tough.

Anything spring to mind?

Spike and Dexter sound great.

Hedwig3 · 03/11/2010 13:26

Buster?

DanceInTheDark · 03/11/2010 11:45

Spike and Oscar (Ozzy)?

I love the name Spike, it's fab!!

I think Iggy, Axel or Zane go well

rachel1970 · 02/11/2010 15:19

I love Quentin (Tarantino, to follow the film director theme)!

lottiejenkins · 02/11/2010 15:05

I have a Wilf(red) I think it's a cool name!!

skippingturtle · 02/11/2010 15:02

Oooh! Dexter and Huxley are fab! Love Sonny too but not sure about that with Spike.

ThighsBurntOnABigRocket · 02/11/2010 14:55

Saxon? Heard it today. It's quite a 'grr' name though!

BibiBelle · 29/10/2010 22:41

I love Cassius too Froggie, makes me a little dizzy nudge nudge wink Wink

pippylongstockings · 29/10/2010 20:46

Well, I am in awe & envy of your Spike - that was the only boys name DH and I could agree on when we were expecting DS1 - however we have a surname that is unt - so Spike unt was a bit like calling him Mike *unt!!!

We also liked Felix but again Felix *unt was not a good combo. Wink

We have a Hector and a Woodrow aka Woody.

Stanley/Wilfred/Lenny/Buster all pretty cool.

Further to Angel, what about Giles, Ozzie or Xander?

ThighsWideShitItsAGhost · 29/10/2010 18:42

Cassius is another firm fave here. But don't think it goes with Spike.

GeorgeOsborne · 29/10/2010 18:41

I really like Spike.

Woody would be good I think.

Holden? Harper? - 1950s vibe there.

Atticus. I love Atticus.

CheerfulYank · 29/10/2010 18:37

He is very cute Yarnie! :) I like Iggy, Lenny, Brody...hmmm....will think on this and get back to you. Also love Indigo, and Iggy or Indy could be a nn.

thell · 29/10/2010 13:17

Damn it! Was about to suggest Bruno, but no 'o' sounds.

Brodie?
I'm not normally one for surname-names, but for some reason I like this one.

BTW Your son is Gorgeous!!

SweetnessAndShite · 29/10/2010 09:27

What about Dexter?

From the suggestions already make I think Sonny or Ralph would be great.

Floopy21 · 29/10/2010 09:18

Baxter?

Huxley. Hux for short sounds pretty cool IMO.

jerseyshore · 29/10/2010 00:19

I have an Iggy and if I had another boy and a different surname I would go for Spike. Iggy and Spike. Loovely.

Manda25 · 28/10/2010 20:49

Iggy or Buster gets my vote

alexisfaith · 28/10/2010 15:43

Spike, from your photos, really really suits his name! I think Iggy for sure.

Psychommead · 28/10/2010 15:33

Faaamily I love your list.

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 28/10/2010 15:04
