Spike is a cool name. However the appellation was chosen.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 30/08/2012 18:21

I think Spike's a great name. It was on our list for DC2, but we had a DD. It's not that out there, is it Confused

Spike is the bulldog in Tom and Jerry, surely?

Frontpaw · 30/08/2012 18:27

We had a whole Spike Yay or Nay thread earlier this year. It got quite shouty and I got scared.

Buffy the vampire slayer is the only place for a 'spike' IMO

None of my DCs can be judges, lawyers or doctors according to MN and I think they're fairly normal names.

Which is good as DS1 wants to be a pilot, DS2 wants to be a Hairy Biker and DD is 10 weeks old.

So slightly out there names never seem to go down well.

My sil (teacher) has come accross a Blade (boy) and Tia-Maria (girl).

a little girl called Chlamydia
now it's getting silly

IawnCont · 30/08/2012 19:16

Wayne Bow! That is bloody brilliant!

I think it's very very odd that anyone would think of Ivy or Melina as out-there names.
I'm also bloody fed-up at names that are named as weird just for not being English. There's a world out there, people...

TunaPastaBake · 30/08/2012 19:19

There was a thread a while ago about someone calling their baby ' Cartier'

iheartmycat · 30/08/2012 19:40

I just cant imagine looking at my lovely new baby and thinking, "I'm going to name you....

Daphne
Maud

It's not just 'new' names that can be awful!!
