Have woken up this morning in love with this name, Dh says its a cow's name. What's your vote? Cute, cow or utterly butterly

Arf at a cow that spreads easily Grin

But that's also pretty much what came to mind. Sorry OP.

I love it and really wanted it (like names with a "v" sound in the middle, also loved the character in What Katy Did) but husband objected for same reason as the OP's husband. Also, was foolish enough to discuss names with others before learnt error of my ways and mother in law said,"what - spreads easily?!". Ruined forever for me now.

Haven't read What Katy Did.

Moo

Sorry.

Now, Ermintrude on the other hand...

I love it and thought of using it myself as liked the name from what Katy did. Also liked the name Juniper, think that's from the same book.

Lovely sounding name but I guess I'm just not a fan of plant names, being a Heather myself (too many Scottish weed jokes). Would be better to be named after a more striking flower. Iris (although I always think of eyes), Rose, Violet.

If it's the Cl-sound you like, how about Clara? Still not many around despite the Dr Who effect.

Moooooooooo.

Love the name but unfortunately it's just reminds me of the margarine that my parents have used for years! I think a child called that would get a lot of stick at school to be honest!

AlwaysSleepingBeauty · 27/12/2013 21:09

And we all love Clover, all over this land!

sleepingbeautiful · 27/12/2013 21:06

I love it (Another What Katy Did fan). DH said cow, and vetoed.

EthethethethChrisWaddle · 27/12/2013 20:36

Love it. Was on my list for girls. I loved What Katy Did when I was younger, so it makes me think of the books.

MrsPatMustard · 27/12/2013 19:07

Cow. Sorry...

I love the name. I didn't think of clover butter, or is it margarine? It won't be a taunt young children use. How many children know the name of their butter?

kerala · 23/12/2013 18:30

I love it know people will say its cow-ish but makes me think of the sister in What Katy Did.

BoyMeetsWorld · 22/12/2013 21:29

Always liked it since reading What Katy Did

Jellymum1 · 22/12/2013 21:27

I really like it :) i bet any liytle girl called clover wpuld be adorable. It sounds so cute and fresh and i can imaginebig blue eyes. If you like the name no one elses opinion matters (well maybe DHs)

Climbingthewalls12 · 22/12/2013 21:21

Rabbit's name haha..... too much Sofia the First for me!

Tammytheseal · 22/12/2013 21:18

My DD is called Clover! It was the first name on my list when pg and as the list grew, I kept coming back to it. Once DD was born, DP really opposed it and said we couldn't name her after a cow.

We didn't register her birth until the day of the deadline and were arguing about it until minutes beforehand. I got my way though and Clover she is. Funnily enough, we've not had one single negative comment since naming her and the only person who's joked about the butter connection is me! (have actually got a photo of her in Tesco looking at the butter with her name on it).

I can't imagine her being called anything else now Smile

randdom · 22/12/2013 20:30

I really like it!

Wolfcub · 22/12/2013 20:09
