was at drs today and a little boy was called spike

[bumpsoon]

and i thought it was really nice and it went really well with his surname .Although one of the old gents waiting then went on to reminisce for a while about his best mate in the army who had been called spike

One of my cousins friends has a child called Spike - she is a dire person - chavtastic to the Nth degree!

Mind you she has a friend with a child called Romeo too - the child is the least likely looking Romeo you could ever come across.

Please call your children proper names FGS!

my friend really wanted to call her ds spike, but her family hated it. she caved in and chose something else at the last minute, has regretted it!

i love it

Spike is an occasional nickname of ours for DS1, it is a play on his abbreviated real name, but he is v skinny, wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a full-blown nickname at school at some point.

I like it (like his abbreviated name even more though), but would not have considered giving it as a real name.

bumpsoon - are you actually thinking of using it?

oh and that's why I'm spiker...lame no?

no ,it wouldnt go with my surname !
