Does anyone else see the appeal? (for a girl)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not much of one for spreads that aren't butter but as names go I prefer Flora.

Neverseenstarwars · 13/01/2018 13:49

I see Gunty beat me to it

Neverseenstarwars · 13/01/2018 13:47

Does anyone remember the song (I think it was a rude version of a traditional song) with a chorus that went

Roll me over in the clover, roll me over, lay me down and do it again.

I'm going to spend the rest of the day trying to think of the first part now

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 12/01/2018 23:14

Sorry OP, all I hear is 'it's the way that it churns'

I actually think that this would be pretty for a tiny baby or very old lady - but not that good for an adult or teenager. I get that not everyone is going to be given a terribly grand name but a really "cute" name - the sort that people will stop and say "REALLY?!?" - must be quite a heavy weight to bear.

Immediate word that came to mind hearing clover as a name was rabbit

pipilangstrumpf · 12/01/2018 08:16

It sounds quite masculine to my ears, like Rover or Grover.

ohlittlepea · 12/01/2018 06:39

I absolutely love this name, from What Katy Did 😍 but OH ruled out because of the butter connotations. Its so pretty.

Joeybee · 12/01/2018 06:33

I don't like it. Too delicate and flowery and weak. I also can only imagine it on a pet, not a child. It'd be okay as a middle name.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 12/01/2018 04:41

I know a newborn one! None of these connotations came to mind but I’m sure I won’t be able to look at her the same now

tiptopteepe · 12/01/2018 01:16

I think its lovely!

Rainbowmother · 12/01/2018 01:03

The first health visitor to come and visit me after I had DC was called Clover. I think is pretty.

Also Amy winehouse sings about a clover in 1 of her songs

thamesk8 · 12/01/2018 00:48

i Love it!

RightOnTheEdge · 04/01/2018 00:43

I thought of a cow straight away but I have a Daisy and my ddad said it was a cow's name I ignored him so if you like Clover then just go for it.

It's a pretty name

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 04/01/2018 00:38

gunty my great grandmother used to sing that all the time

MarmaladeAtkinsX · 04/01/2018 00:36

gunty my DM still sings that one!

RavenWings · 04/01/2018 00:32

Belongs on something living in a pet farm, imo. Along with Daisy, Maisy and Primrose.

Clover the cow, sorry not nice

pipilangstrumpf · 03/01/2018 21:42

Clo is a toilet in German. Not a great nickname.

Figrollsnotfatrolls · 03/01/2018 20:19

How about Mooriel??

Enko · 03/01/2018 19:52

I like it.

buttercup54321 · 03/01/2018 18:47

MOO lol

villainousbroodmare · 03/01/2018 12:02

When are you calving down?

ScreamingValenta · 03/01/2018 00:03

A nice name. It makes me think of Clover in the 'What Katy Did' series of novels - she was a lovely character, and very pretty.

Christmastits · 03/01/2018 00:01

Is it a rabbit?
