Boy name Spike?

[ImYourWomanJonSnow]

So we're having another boy. With DS1 I have exhausted all boy names that I really like - it's a rare but not a unusually-sounding name if that makes sense, and more commonly used as a surname.

DP suggests Spike, I laughed at first but it's kind of growing on me. What do you think?

A big NO from me. Reminds me of the bulldog from Tom and jerry.

Sorry but to me it sounds too try hard and self conscious.

Buffy.

And I'm not even a buffy fan.

It could be a cute nn...

I knew a cool/alternative student called Spike. He's now a headmaster who uses his given name (Michael). I guess if he'd gone on to be a member of a band or a juggler or one of various other 'creative' careers he might have stuck with Spike!

I think it's a cute nickname. Maybe give him another name he can use if he chooses/when he's older too.

I know an adult with the given name Spike, he absolutely fucking hates it. 25 years of people assuming he's a dog (I'm not kidding).

I think that Emma Freud and Richard Curtis have a son called Spike.

Sorry OP, it's not a suitable name, in my opinion.

Spike Milligan's name wasn't Spike - it was Terrence.....

Go with a "proper" name and then use Spike as nick name.
