Boys name to go with Spike

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?

I've got an Iggy! He is Isaac, but generally known as either Ikey (bad with Spike, obv) or Iggy.

Poor Spike, and now you are seeking to further compound your chav credentials. Hmm

Magnus
Cassius
A short name like Ray, Joe, Jim, Bob, Reg, Alf?

I love Iggy too and Rex which were mentioned earlier

Menzies - but pronounces 'Mingus', I think.

cece · 27/10/2010 15:38

What was the leader of the Lib Dems called a few years ago?

Was it something like Mezies but you said it Ming?

That's what I thought of anyway.

I think Iggy would be just dandy!

spookyhalloweenFluffypomkins · 27/10/2010 15:25

Ooo, Mental, that's a rich seam of names. Thanks! I will get Googling. I do like Stanley very much, but a good friend has named her son it, so it's off limits.

Quentin (Tarantino)
Walter (Salles)
Wes (Anderson)
Lars (von Trier)
Gus (van Sant)
Stanley (Kubrick)
Alfred (Hitchcock)
Busby (Berkeley)
Clint (Eastwood)
