- In the context of Japanese pop culture, foreign-sounding names written in Katakana like スペンサー are often used to signal that a character is an outsider or a foreigner.
- Because Japanese does not have a natural 's-p' cluster, the sound 'sp' in スペンサー is broken up by adding a small vowel sound, making it 'su-pen-sā'.
