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?

HAD to add, just seen your profile pic. Spike is GORGEOUS. Love his cardie, too. Did you knit it yourself?

Psychommead · 28/10/2010 13:30

Buster gets my vote!

Spike sure is unusual, but I like it!

New one - Solomon?

foreverastudent · 28/10/2010 12:23

It has to be Angel, surely? Wink

I like Spike and Buster.

Vlad is great too.

Bob is way too scary (I'm still traumatised by Twin Peaks!)

There are two boy characters in Angelina Ballerina called Spike and Sammy. That's if you don't mind calling your sons after fictional mice, of course.

Nooooo, not Lingus (tis Aer Lingus for one, and cunnilingus would be the absolute worst)

I'm going to resist suggesting Snoopy..

For some reason I immediately thought of Yannick when I read Spike.

Or how about:
Bo
Axel

Jed or Jett? I like Lenny for a boy.

metromum · 27/10/2010 23:45

For me it would have to be Bob.

valiumskeleton · 27/10/2010 22:43

Spike is too eccentric to be chav. It's not following any trend. Sorry for using the c word, I didn't bring it up though.

bicep · 27/10/2010 22:35

oooh sorry, just seen names ending in 'o' are out - ignore my Cosmo suggestion. Blush

bicep · 27/10/2010 22:34

Agree - Spike is absolutely gorgeous from your pics.

What about

Rocky
Cosmo

I really like those names (but my two ds's are named very traditionally, so these are alter-ego names I'd choose in a parallel universe)

BibiBelle · 27/10/2010 22:30

Clyde
Linden
Sorren
Odin
Darragh

MilkNoSugarPlease · 27/10/2010 22:29

How lovely phren

I do love Iggy

oh and your DS IS a (gorgeous) Spike! it so suits him!

ThighsWideShitItsAGhost · 27/10/2010 22:26

The more I say it over, the more I like the sound of Iggy and Spike (or Spike and Iggy!)

ThighsWideShitItsAGhost · 27/10/2010 22:24

Nice, Phren Hmm

Liking Iggy, thats fab.

I'm liking Lingus at the moment.

MrsRhettKilledTheButler · 27/10/2010 22:21

is that necessary phren? Hmm she certainly doesn't look like a chav and so what if she is? people can use whatever name they like can't they? people think my dd's name is 'chavvy' or 'ghetto'.... its actually biblical.
