Is Spencer a Girl's Name

She has such a girlie truck, she must be quite a woman.
How do you know it’s a woman’s truck?
Look at the color. It is Fuchsia.
So Fuchsia has to be a woman’s color?
Um, yah!
He is such a redneck.
I say, “watch and learn.”
My pal Spencer comes tearing out of the house.
He is wearing a tank top and cut offs that are way too high.
His pockets are hanging out of the fringy slits!
There is an orange lei around his neck.
He gives me a little dance step and a twirl.
“What was that?” the redneck asked.
That was my friend, Spencer. I say.
“Is Spencer a girl’s name?” He asks me.
I walk away.
