I'm not a native speaker, but I feel that "spend" would be a 
wrong choice.

fetchFront was proposed by Dmitry, which I like more than 
spendFront, but slightly less than consumeFront.

By the way, I don't have any associations from the above. Consume 
is widely used in everyday life, and it should not be a problem 
that there are various uses.

As for introducing a new concept, it looks like that would be 
necessary any way, because existing concepts correspond to 
something different :) For example, that was my original 
motivation to vote against takeFront.
