I wanted to add a roll eyes emoji to that last post by the way🙄! I just meant in the sense everyone said "cow name" when I said what we were calling her!

Katurah · 11/08/2018 22:44

I love it. My daughter has a cow name as well - I bet you can guess what it is! I couldn't care less - very pretty names! X

What Katy Did.

Lovely name, and was always on my list for a girl.

Margarine. It is delicious though.

I’d think “oh,that’s unusual” but not in a bad way, it’s lovely.

HouseworkIsASin10 · 11/08/2018 00:07

Cute as a button. Lovely name whatever age.

I'm Australian, and popping onto the thread to tell you that the Lord Mayor of Sydney is called Clover. She's been the Mayor for decades. An absolutely formidable woman!

I don’t like it. I think it’s cute for a child but not an adult. I try to imagine myself with the name, introducing myself to a colleague etc and it seems a bit cringey. Sorry

moredoll · 09/08/2018 23:19

It's a cow's name.

What Katy Did

Then the “we all love clover all over this land” advert

WillowRose79 · 09/08/2018 20:50

I read a book called The Cellar and the killer was called Clover. It reminds me of an animals name. Sorry x

vampirethriller · 09/08/2018 17:50

Cows. And roll me over in the clover...

badg3r · 09/08/2018 10:25

🎵Roll it over in the clover
Roll it over in the clover do I again!!🎵

Loved that add... It actually makes me quite like the name too!

roundsquareround · 09/08/2018 10:13

Do you hate the child?

ladycarlotta · 09/08/2018 10:04

It's a lovely name.

Redsharks · 08/08/2018 23:17

It reminds me of things people have mentioned, though these things don't deter me from liking the name. I think it's lovely, and love names that, to me, aren't associated/ stereotyped as a girly or boys names. May even have to add it to my list...
