What do you think of Clive?
Is it old fashioned?

I know someone with a cat called Clive, better on a cat than a human.

I hate it - it’s reminds me of the cringe greasy guy in Bridget Jones 2 on the plane.

(I know it’s a niche reference but it really epitomises how I think of a Clive)

I like it a lot

Fantastic

I know a puppy called Clive and it's really cute on him - not so sure for a baby

I know an adult Clive and he really really hates his name.

Horrible. Like slime. It's a Nigel name for me - ghastly.

I feel like it’s in the Barry and Terry category for me…not quite ‘cool’ yet. Give it a couple of years and it’ll be bang on trend.

I knew a cute little Clive when I was a child so it makes me think of him. He moved away when he was about 8 so I still think of Clive as cute boys name.

Now I think about it I actually quite like it.

Awful

Amz6219 · 12/08/2021 16:28

I don't like it...

But I know a couple of Vincent's born recently and thought eugh no initially (to myself of course), but it has grown on me! Clive may be a grower!

It is old fashioned but I'm not sure what I think of it...
I think I possibly like it 🤷

I love it
