Call Me, Call Me: Name Analysis

I decided to go the way of the many and have Spike's name analyzed. Here are the results (and it's not my fault they're, like, way off). Comments in italics are mine. These silly things are not to be taken seriously and are here only to serve as amusement. The things I've underlined are the parts that kind of jive with Spike's true character.

kabalarians.com says:
"As Spike you seek change, travel, new opportunities, and new challenges. Your active, restless nature demands action and you dislike system and monotony. As you are versatile and capable, you could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks. Having considerable vision, you could be adept at formulating new, more effective ways of doing things. You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself. You could work well in sales and promotion, and would not be afraid to risk a gamble as the name gives you much self-confidence. You do not find contentment in the routine tasks and responsibilities that are associated with home and family or with administrative detail in the business world, so you have to guard against frustration and even moods of depression over your personal responsibilities. The restlessness this name creates could find an outlet in caustic, irritable expression. Also, the intensity of your nature could result in tension in the solar plexus causing stomach trouble and, because you take your responsibilities seriously you could experience much worry."

Sounds like Spike now, does it not? Except maybe for the "organize" part and the WORRYING. He *is* impatient and restless, though.

"Spike: Status is important to you and your ability to achieve success and earn money. You have a need to be noticed and seek status. You have a talent for working with people on a one to one basis. You are relatively demonstrative in your affections. You enjoy being stroked verbally and physically. You have good recuperative abilities. You are determined. You can be quite inventive and quite curious.

Spiegel: You try to be prudent. You have good business acumen. You need to learn to face conflict and not avoid it for the sake of peace...harmony through conflict. You need to learn to give and receive love for love's sake. You have a need to be assured of affection. You need to learn to be expressive. You are a person who cannot tolerate being misunderstood. You are a hard worker when you make up your mind to do a job. You have a diplomatic flair to your nature. Equality and fairness are important to you. "

Some of it's a bit...off. Status is important to Spike??? *laughs* "Demonstrative in your affections???" A "need to learn to face conflict and not avoid it". Believe me, Spike KNOWS how to face conflicts. Sometimes he even creates them. And Spike has a need to be assured of affection and has a diplomatic flair...ri-ight. If diplomatic means he likes to pick fights, suuuure. The other bits are okay, though. But I completely disagree with the "good business acumen" bit. If that were true, then he and Jet shouldn't be living on a hand-to-mouth basis -- though that may be due more to his reckless tendency to blow things up than any lack in financial wisdom.

There's also the extremely literal interpretation, Spike denoting something sharp and "spiegel" meaning "mirror" in German.
