Boy name Spike?

So we're having another boy. With DS1 I have exhausted all boy names that I really like - it's a rare but not a unusually-sounding name if that makes sense, and more commonly used as a surname.

DP suggests Spike, I laughed at first but it's kind of growing on me. What do you think?

Even Spike from Buffy wasn't really called Spike, his given name was William

Decemberrat didn't know about the series, would I have to catch up on it if we decide to go for it (and is it worth watching)?
