I love it, mostly because of Clover in, 'What Katy Did.'

Gingerandcocoa · 21/04/2013 15:18

Isn't that a name from Hunger Games? I think I'd always associate it with the book.

I had a dog called clover as a child,so thumbs down from me!

My friend had a dog called Clova, after a village in Scotland, I think it's pretty. But for a little girl I prefer Kiva (or Caoimhe ugh).

I wish my name was Clover, it's Chloe but it always sounded too 'nicknamey' ... GO FOR IT!

Clover was the name of my sister's first horse - for me it will always be an animal's name. Or the name of a margarine.

Madamecastafiore · 21/04/2013 14:53

Its a cows name!

BlueStarsAtNight · 21/04/2013 14:52

I think I like it. Though it sort of makes me think of a rabbit for some reason!

scaevola · 21/04/2013 13:42

Breastickles: I thought of that song too!

Mooooo.....

A dear friend of mine has an 8yo dd named Clover (& a 10yo DD named Raven!)...she loved the names when they were younger. Now that they're getting older and stroppier she laments that she's burdened them with 'stripper' names. Grin

FWIW, when she was choosing names I was an advocate for 'Clover' as I think it's very sweet. I detest the name Raven, though, poor little girl.

I love it, but DH vetoed it for DC2. Who was a boy anyway. Grin

Suzieismyname · 21/04/2013 13:37

But still no...

coffeewineandchocolate · 21/04/2013 13:37

To me its a cow-sorry...

Suzieismyname · 21/04/2013 13:36

Sorry, the horse was Boxer.

Oh, we don't have Clover butter where we come from so I don't have that association, but that is good to know!

Think it's beautiful. Really do...

Suzieismyname · 21/04/2013 13:35

Wasn't that the horse in Animal Farm?

BreasticlesNTesticles · 21/04/2013 13:34

"Roll me over in the clover, roll me over, lay me down and do it again" is the song I think of every time I hear Clover.

However this is closely followed by the sister in the What Katy Did books.

Finally I think of a cow for some reason, sorry Sad

BabsAndTheRu · 21/04/2013 13:34

Agree with MoaningYoni, just keep thinking of the butter.

MoaningYoniWhingesAgain · 21/04/2013 13:32

Only in sandwiches, not on toast.
