I love the name Spencer! I wanted to choose it for my second child but my husband wasn’t having any of it. This time around he’s set on it!
What do you all think of the name?

I know a baby Spencer. I’m not really a fan of the trend for surnames as first names. But if it was good enough for Spencer Perceval...

I don't like it, mainly because it's a surname and I dislike surnames for names.
Seems too try - hard. I just think there are nicer names.

Ohh I really like it!

Sorry! 😁

I have the Balamory song in my head now... I’m blaming you @ZaZathecat!

@ZaZathecat

Beingatwat you must be binge-watching Balamory!
Haha! With two DDs that’s not an impossibility. Grin Bing can fuck off though!

No, I’m watching Criminal Minds.

If you like it, use it. I'm not keen as I see it as a surname, but that's me.

MrsBertBibby · 25/03/2021 08:20

Sorry but I loathe it.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 25/03/2021 07:43

It’s the name of a very likeable character in the tv series I’m binging at the minute so I quite like it.

I don’t much like it, I think of it as a sort of 80s estate agent type name.

I dislike it but mainly because the only one I've ever known was a complete arsehole
