I would suggest a neutral name, after the Cleveland Browns football player, Barkevius Mingo!

I love the name Spyridon and things it does sound pleasant to my non-Greek ear. My sons middle name is Michael, and it's a beautiful name but Spyridon is so strong and meaningful. i love it.

Good name or bad name is up to the parents to decide, but I think he will appreciate the meaning of family that much more once he learns the meaning of his name. I live in Hawaii where the Polynesians give these huge long names that only they can pronounce. They kindly shorten them for the rest of us and their names is not the reason we are friends with them. It is an added bonus when they explain the meaning behind it. Scott (and probably Michael, for that matter) seems a lot more boring by comparison.

This world is full of Michaels and Jasons. I love that you're considering a name that has meaning, instead of choosing one simply because it's common and popular!

Considering how important naming your first-born son Spyridon seems to be to you personally, and the lack of strong supporting evidence to this on the counterpart, I sign the petition! Note however that I don't know it to be as a godly or orthodox right, but more a traditional and your personal right.

If the kid really doesn't like this noble-sounding name, he can go by S. Michael Soukeras.

other ethnic cultures have the same. I don't see why you can't give him the grandfather's name, and if chosen, call him Mike or Michael. I vote for spyridon

Keep the tradition. Name the baby for his grandfather, then call him Spider.
