I can't decide if this name is OTT or not

[YeahNotTooBad]

Spike. For a boy, obvs.

Is that too much?

Eh ..... not sure. I like it if that helps.

I love it.

I know one. It's a bit try-hard for me but it suits their family

Too much in my opinion. But it's your baby, so your choice.

I love it. I wanted to call Ds2 Spike but dh vetoed it.

Isn't that the bulldog from Tom and Jerry?

Buffy fan?

I dunno, it's a bit 'we're so kerazy' for me.

I like it in an 'it sounds like a ye olde Victorian First World War' name kind of way.

It doesn't sound too trendy try hard?

X posted with loads of you! That's my worry.

I think it's under the top rather than over the top.

I know one. It does actually suit him - cool sporty kid with spiky hair! It's a daft name though.

Why don't you just use it as a nickname?

Spike Lee's real name is Shelton [useless fact]

Ike is a nickname for Isaac. Spike could be a nickname from Ike: Spiky Ikey... Spike...

Hate it, sorry.

Sorry, no from me.

It sounds like the name of a bull mastiff dog......

It's a no from me. It's a bit trying too hard name.

It most emphatically does not suggest "ye olde Victorian First World War" . It's a Staffordshire bull terrier's name.

I had a guinea pig called Spike.

Spike Milligan is my childhood hero, but even his real name was Terence... I don't think it works as a full on forename. Cute nickname though

No. It's a pets' name.

He'll never be a BBC news reader with a name like that! Far too try hard and he'll hate you for it forever.

I don't think of it as a real name. It's a nickname.

It's a nickname. Don't do it! I think it's a bit 'Stanley, Sidney, Teddy, Freddie, Bertie' if you know what I mean?
