Ok. So Duckie is a no. What about Spike?

[magicstar2020]

Title says it all really. Duckie is out.
Second favourite is Spike.
I also really like Dot and Dusty.

Same!!

I can’t work out whether this baby is meant to be a boy or a girl. Surely Spike and Dot are not interchangeable.

Gotta be Sharptooth for a boy or Treestar for a girl.

Dusty bin - 321

Wilder? Hunter? Rocky? Butch? All solid options.

Thankfully the real world isn't like mumsnet. Absolutely nobody cares about her name, and if they're commenting behind my back, I couldn't give a shit. She's beautiful, smart and strong and she's the most wonderful Dusty girl the world has ever seen!!!

is she a dusty bin!

And Spike in hi-de-hi

Dusty Springfield did rock but it was a nickname

I know someone one named Spiky?

After Dexter Fletcher's character in Press Gang?

I like Dusty a lot

No.

FWIW I know kids called Spike (nickname but used exclusively), Dusty and Pebbles 😁 not for me but they seem ok!

Duckie was tudor slang for breasts-henry wrote to Anne saying he loved her duckies
Spike is just awful,but a tad better than duckie

I knew a child called Spike about 17yrs ago, he was a handful, but I actually quite like the name, MN is a bit judgemental over names.
I like Misty more than Dusty.

I think Spike is a nickname for Patrick.

I immediately thought of Pretty in pink.
I used to know a Michael called Spike for a nickname.

I feel like you're trying to name a lizard. Maybe a gecko.

Tell you what, go up to strangers for a week introducing yourself as Duckie/Spike/Dusty and see what polite reactions people have to fake.

I mean - you've likely met loads of people, 99% of them who didn't have stupid as shit names. Why do this to an actual human, who will have to live in the world long after you've popped off?

The only dog we ever had was called Spike. My dad insisted he be named after the dog in Tom and Jerry, saying it was his favourite programme.............tho wasn't there a dog called Butch in that too?

That just sounds like saying 'she's the most wonderful dirty girl'

I can’t resist the urge to post pictures of our pets that have Buffy the Vampire Slayer names 😂 below is a picture of Buffy the Dog 😂

Interesting

A bit like Peggy is an diminutive of Margaret

There's also Spike Lee.
Spike Milliagan's name was actually Terence.

We had lots of fish named after them (Buffy, Dawn, Spike, Angel) but I don’t have pics anymore. I also have Clem (after the wrinkly demon) 😂

Daphnie , Donald or Daisy would be a good nickname for Duckie.

I've got a dog called Dusty, she was named after Dusty Bin by the shelter she came from as she was found abandoned in a bin when she was a very young pup.
