Spike

Spike is a bold, punchy name that originated from an English nickname, often used to describe someone with spiky hair or a strong personality. It gained popularity in the 20th century, partly due to cultural icons like director Spike Lee and the fictional vampire from the cult TV series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. Spike offers a bit of an edge and a quirky appeal, suitable for those who wish to instill a sense of adventure and individuality. While it's not a traditional name, its pop culture presence lends it a certain charm and notoriety.
