Talk:Spike (given name)

Merge (given name)+(nickname)
It isn't intuitive to identify whether someone called "Spike" is using a legal name or an informal nickname, especially when it is a professional name. This confusion is demonstrated by the number of people who appear on both lists. Yes, it's possible to research whether Spike So-and-so was called that at birth, or legally changed his name, or just started calling himself that, but that isn't helpful for a disambiguation page. Simpler to have one list of "Spike"s and let people find the one they're looking for on it. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 21:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * All but two entries were nicknames. I've moved those two (musicians) to Spike and any not already in the nickname list there. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
