Spencer

[1234512345Meh]

What do you think? It’s for my 2nd son. I’m ok with it being a surname as well (which is strange as I don’t like a lot of surname names)... any other comments or similar name suggestions?

I don't like it but if you do then go for it.

I like it more for a girl than a boy.

I'm not a fan of surname names in general but I actually don't mind spencer. I definitely would assume a boy not a girl. It makes me think of Made in Chelsea but not a bad thing. If you like it go for it.

I like it!

Love it.

Hate it.

A friend of mine had a Spencer. Another friend I told replied, "Why? Has she given birth to an estate agent?"

I now always think that when I hear the name. I'm not a fan.

Frank Spencer. No.

I really like it. It’s not unusual in NZ, but obviously is in UK.

A certain generation (over 50s) will just think "oooooh Betty" I'm afraid .. That would put me off.

What’s the Betty thing?!

Frank Spencer, one of the 1970s most unattractive male characters. Makes me cringe still thinking about him though I'm sure there were worse. Betty was his long-suffering wife.

This, but ignore it, OP. Ancient!

Sounds fine.

If it’s his surname, I’ll move on from that

However, I also like Cameron but don’t want the DC connection...

I'm 38 and always think "Ooh Betty" when I hear Spencer!

However I do know a young Spencer, who's a lovely little boy and has made me warm to it a bit more.
As long as your first son isn't called Mark or Frank then go for it OP!

Dislike it a lot. As a PP said, it's an estate agent name.

I wouldn't think of the DC connection from it as a first name.

Ive met a baby Spencer and liked the name x
