Boys name to go with Spike

[Yarnie]

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 .

This is going to be tough.

Anything spring to mind?

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.

I really like Spike.

Woody would be good I think.

Holden? Harper? - 1950s vibe there.

Atticus. I love Atticus.

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

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

Ziggy.

Hunter ?

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.

We have a Hector and a Woodrow aka Woody.

Stanley/Wilfred/Lenny/Buster all pretty cool.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I think Iggy, Axel or Zane go well

Spike and Oscar (Ozzy)?

Buster?

Spike and Dexter sound great.

Asa

Haydn

I like Montgomery, Spike and Monty is perfect.

Oh my goodness! You lot are a mine of fabulous names! So many to think about. I will digest and revert.

Thank you, thank you!

And also for your kind words about my darling boy. I think he's pretty adorable, but then I'm horrendously biased :-)

Sooo weird, I first thought of Lee too.
(see mental)
I also like Lenny.

I freaked out when choosing my seconds name to match the first, maybe just find a name you like.

Dexter. definitely.

Sadly, I had a MC following this thread, but happy to say I am pregnant again and due in December. It's definitely a boy, so I am reviving this thread to see what new/different thoughts people have on a boy's name for DS2. It needs to go with DS1's name, which is Spike (I know there's some haters, but that's his name and we're not changing it!).

Milo is number 1 at the moment, but it's increasingly popularity is putting me off and our surname ends in an "o" sound, so I think the slight repetition probably sounds silly, yes?

Loki
Rock
Ziggy

Oh Yarnie -- how sad.

Milo is lovely.

How about -

Oisin
