Thoughts on Clove as a girls name, there is one in Hunger games, and i think Clover is used sometimes now.

Clove??

Feather12 · 08/07/2021 23:46

Clove sounds a bit clunky, which is odd as I find Clover really pretty.

Clover was Katy Carr’s sister, maybe that’s why I love it, read that so much as a kid Blush

HandforthParishCouncilClerk · 08/07/2021 23:45

As in ‘of garlic’? No. Clover is nice though.

Sophie Dahl’s sister is called Clover I think ?
Agree it is a Jersey Cow name more typically . Clove ? No. Clove of garlic, cloven hoof, just no.

That’s awful and up there with the worst

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 08/07/2021 23:42

Clover, old fashioned maybe but lovely.

Clove sounds like a boys name tbh. Sorry 😐

DramaAlpaca · 08/07/2021 23:42

Clover is fine, it's quite a sweet, old-fashioned name.

Clove isn't good. It's like a bad combination of Clover and Olive and it doesn't work as a name.

I quite like the sound of it. But the above comments are off putting!!

Nuggetnugget · 08/07/2021 23:41

No. Really no!

lottiegarbanzo · 08/07/2021 23:40

Oh, Clodagh (lovely Irish girl's name)

NuffSaidSam · 08/07/2021 23:40

I quite like the sound of it, but I'm not keen on try-hard made up names and I would put it in that category.

You could go Clover and nn Clove. But it's just butter to me.

Clover (cow's name)
Clovis (ancient-history-inspired boy's name)
Chloe (normal girl's name)

DismantledKing · 08/07/2021 23:40

No. It’s a terrible name.

OverByYer · 08/07/2021 23:39

Awful
Clove of garlic?

NeepNeepNeep · 08/07/2021 23:39

Of garlic? Don't do it

PersonaNonGarter · 08/07/2021 23:38

Clover or don’t.

Clove reminds me of cloven (as in hooves) and it seems aggressively masculine.

LittleBearPad · 08/07/2021 23:37

Clover is a name. Clove isn’t.

LittleBearPad · 08/07/2021 23:37

No.
