Spike?

[hellohellohihi]

Not even pregnant so can't blame hormones but I love Spike. Discuss!!

Sounds very much more like a nickname than a proper name.

Yy Buffy. You'll need to buy your Spike a long leather coat

Seriously, I know a cute little 2-year-old Spike and while there were eyebrows raised at the time, by now it's just his name.

It's great - for a bulldog.

Oh. Please, no. Lol

I used to work for a Spike. Not a nickname, perfectly acceptable bona fide name. He was (is!) a quiet, gentle man and yet it didn't seem at all incongruous.

I think it's a fabulous name.

I work with a Spike - he's a very respectable senior scientist in his (?)late 40s. As far as I know, it's his real name and nobody has ever batted an eyelid at it . (Academia may not be representative of workplaces in general, though...)

It is a very cool name.

It was a serious contender had I had a boy.

I absolutely love it, but then again wouldn't use it myself as I'm not brave enough.

My children both have very traditional, some might say, "boring" names, Daniel and Emily :)

As very small squeak says, it is very cool :)
