I really think Jade/Jayde/Jayden is not so hot for a boy, sorry.Keegan to me is bad. I don't know, I just hate the double 'e' combination... it's very 80s/trashy, ie
Teegan, Reegan, Keegan, Meegan (eek! I've seen it spelt this way)Spencer sounds a little pretentious and social-climberish
"This is my son, Spencer Chesterfield Outhwaite III"Keaton is also no.... I like Andrew though!!

Jayde is way too girly. I'd assume girl. I do like Andrew Jaden though. Spencer really isnt my style. I dont have very good associations.

Jade or Jay (but not Jayde) make great middle names for a boy.Jade's a stone, after all, which is totally unisex to me.Jaden / Jayden I don't much care for. These seem trendy to me, just elaborations of Jade or Jay.. unless you want to use Jadon; that seems totally different to me.Andrew Jade sounds very nice.Spencer is okay. This is one surnamey name that does not sound chilly and impersonal to me. Besides, it nicknames to the chipper Spence.Keegan is alright, if a bit trendy seeming because of the origin. Keaton's got that impersonal surnaminess that makes it not such a great first name, in my opinion. What I mean by that is: If I fell in love with a guy named Keaton, I'd make up a different name that I could call out when we made love. :-)Keegan Spencer is nice. I'd prefer Spencer Keegan myself. - chazda

First off, please spell it Jade. It's a word name. Spell the word the way the dictionary says. You don't refer to the gemstone jade as "jayde", do you? And you wouldn't type "jayde" when discussing a jade necklace, would you?That said, I don't see why Jade can't be a good name for a boy. It sounds truly unisex to me. Andrew Jade sounds great to me.Jaden's acceptable as a 100% masculine form. Jayden's just kre8iv imo. There's also Jadon (note spelling; this is the only correct one), which is an unrelated Biblical name. However Andrew Jaden / Andrew Jadon doesn't flow as well as Andrew Jade imo.I like Spencer a lot too. It's not overused, but isn't unheard-of either. I like it as either a fn or a mn.I prefer Keegan to Keaton. Keaton just doesn't sound nice to me, and looks overly surnamey.I'd vote for Spencer Keegan or Keegan Spencer. I think Andrew and Spencer go together slightly better than Andrew and Keegan, but it's a really, really close draw.Miranda

Jayde looks girly and misspellt to me, sorry...
Spencer is a bit trendy (surname fashion), but nice. Spence, Keegan and Keaton are nmsaa.

Jayde is WAY too girly and Jayden is way trendy. Spencer is a little on the popular side of things but makes a really good combo with Keegan or Keaton.

Jayde is a great name for a boy (personally I would spell it Jade though), and not too girly to me. Spencer is great too! Both would work well as a first or middle name.
