Imagine that, only six babies in Mississippi have the same name as you in He also erected the aisle in which he is interred, as a sepulchral chapel for his family, who resided in the old manor-house near the church, the remains of which are now occupied as a farmhouse.
In a recess in the aisle is an altar-tomb, with recumbent effigies of Sir William Spencer and his lady; and the churchyard contains a cross embellished with figures in full length, now much mutilated.

Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Spencer family name include Spencer, Spenser, Spensor and others.
Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Hugh le Despenser d.

In the United States, the name Spencer is the rd most popular surname with an estimated , people with that name.
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution.
The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Spencer family to immigrate North America: Spencer Settlers in United States in the 17th Century Thomas Spencer, who settled in Virginia in Kathren Spencer, who landed in Virginia in Passenger and immigration lists index : a guide to published arrival records of about , passengers who came to the United States and Canada in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries.

The only Spencer I know is the something father of one of my closest friends In fact, as my friend's middle name is Spencer, as well, I suspect it's a family name.
I've been bumping around on NameMapper ever since Laura's post. The Spencer trajectory is fascinating, but so are the very similar charts for two girls' names: Isabella and Sophia.
Both names emerge suddenly in the mid '90s in all naming regions and have only slight variation in popularity according to income, population density, or political engagement. In contrast, a name I consider to be similar in appeal, Grace, has a longer reign of popularity in Alaska and Hawaii, most notably.
What makes two names suddenly take off across the board like that, without one particular area acting as a trend setter? Any guesses? Gemma and Jemima have a similar feel to Tamsin for me is this some memory of British tabloid-reading popping up in my subconscious? Coll: I think a very important thing Grace has that Sophia and Isabella do not is a special place in Christianity. Most of the Graces I know in Hawai'i are from very Christian families.
Emily -- I had to chime in about your brother's name, Nelson. I've since met 4, all Dominican. A British man late 50's.
He said he'd never met another until he moved to the US. Growing up in Great Britain his teachers would comment on how odd a name it was. I don't feel this is an indication of some myopic frame of reference I know who Spencer Tracy is. I was just pointing out that if it is a first association for me, a non-Hills watcher, it might be what comes to mind for many people when they hear the name Spencer.
Kae- I love the name Isaac. I would second the suggestion of Rebecca or Rivka for a girl. Perhaps also: Elise Samantha Talia. Aybee -- Thanks for rehabilitating those of us who know about, even if we don't watch, "The Hills.
This is off topic but I'm stumped!! What happened to the name Paul? It's disappeared from every single state's top in the past 3 years.
I've got kids named Isaac and Liam, and should we wind up with another son some day, Paul is on our short list. I can't think of any negative recent culture references Any thoughts?? I love the name Spencer. These are all on my "why not" list but would probably be on my dh's "I don't think so" list.
Doesn't matter really because "why not" is because I am not having any more children! Kae-Based on your tastes you've detailed above, I think of Chloe.
Coll had some good suggestions too! I think we've talked about the not-so-frilly, sort-of-classic, travel-well names many times. The BBC reported today on the not-so-secret code names of Obama and family and his predecessors. Makes for entertaining reading! Just want to clarify my comment re: Spencer and The Hills, my roommate watches so certainly no judgement, I was just meaning to say I didn't know the character's name and my first thought when I hear Spencer is "Tracy" that's all!
Toothfairy- I don't know what happened to Paul, but I think it's a great classic name. I know one who would be about 24 now, one who is probably late 30's and a John Paul who is probably A former colleague of mine Harvard PhD in Renaissance lit has two sons. The elder is a junior; the younger is Dante Spenser. Interesting, about a month ago my husband had mentioned a conversation on how Spencer W. Kimball had led to quite a few Spencers in Utah and even some Kimballs, but that you did not see the same happening with Gordon Bitner Hinckley.
I took the time to talk about how we'd been discussing that names need to be not just high profile, but also fit with the emerging trends to really take off. I had no idea that Utah was the "contemporary naming capital of America" though. I had to look it up to make sure I was right but the association in the back of mind was the TV show Psych. It is the character's last name. I suspect that may have more to do with Paul disappearing than any specific bad association.
Not universally bad associations or recent ones either. If that makes sense. Not sure why it's not coming back with the other classics Elizabeth T. It is a ravishing literary name. Banks watches "Dragon Tales" sometimes-- I'll have to check in and see if their other name choices are as interesting It has been growing on me, even though it is supposed to be a bit "played out".
But increasingly, I really like it! That single, strong, pure syllable is nice. Saint Paul in the Bible was such a complex, amazing character.
Weren't the Reveres renowned silversmiths in the early American colony? Kelsey Grammer's daughter, probably in her 20s, is named Spencer. She's currently on a show on ABC Family about college.
Not sure of the name. I think both of his names are dated and do not like them at all, though I like him! He's named after his grandparents, Benjamin and Pauline.
Coll-Name mapper isn't working for me, but I wonder if Grace is still more popular in Minnesota and Washington state. We're in Washington, and we know more Graces than any other single name-though most are preschool age, rather than babies. There are also always scads of Graces in the alumni magazine from the private college my mother attended in Minnesota. I suspect this is partly because of the high concentration of Lutherans in Minnesota, and the centrality of Grace in that denomination.
None of that answers your questions, but I thought I'd add that to your list of things to ponder. I love the name, and despite Ulrich and Tracy, it sounds too feminine for my ears to give to a boy even though I like it on boys too, if that makes sense. Kelsey Grammer has a daughter named Spencer she's on the show Greek. I've heard it in the preschool set recently, but not to a huge degree. I think that Spencer, right now -- people will think of that dood from 'The Hills. No new Baracks or Michelles in our birth announcements this week, but a weird upswing in "Carson.
OT: I was talking to my friend Kristen and she was complaining that someone had spelled her name Kristin in a listserv or something and now everyone was misspelling her name. We got to talking about how the connotations of the two spellings are quite different and we both independently felt that Kristen has a more down-to-earth feel.
Do other people get this? Anybody have an idea why? I tried checking out the Voyager and Mapper but nothing's jumping out at me I've been a total fan since I was a kid. It doesn't feel played out to me, but rather like a solid, classic name. Go for it! Aybee and Amy I finally had a chance to go back and read carefully, and I think your points were well-taken. Didn't mean to imply that either of you specifically had a narrow frame of reference. I was thinking more generally-- wishing that people's FIRST associations with names would be historical, rather than of-the-moment pop references.
But that reflects my own dreamy and goofy pull toward history and nostalgia and all that. So I hope you'll overlook a certain cloddish single-mindedness in my enthusiasms. I do apologize for the seeming condescension.
