I love it! To me it's a flower name that isn't in the least bit twee, so that's a good thing. I loved Clover in the What Katy Did books too.

Yes but look at your name 😂

Clover is a cows name

Don’t like it because it sounds like the name of the queen bee of a boarding school clique, not in the least hippy to me, straight up posho like Lettice, Araminta and Clemmie. Yuck!

I love it, it’s a beautiful name. Go for it OP

wellyesisupposeso · 01/01/2024 13:12

I do initially think of cows, but I don't think it's insurmountable. I quite like it.

I then think of the song Crimson and Clover which I absolutely love.

LuluBlakey1 · 01/01/2024 12:57

I prefer Lurpak- slightly salted.

GHSP · 01/01/2024 12:55

I start singing ‘roll me over, in the clover…׳

Honeyroar · 01/01/2024 12:49

It’s quite sweet, and in the era when kids get animal names (Hunter, Roman and Willow were the latest I’ve known) and pets get human names, anything goes!

Stresa22 · 01/01/2024 12:43

Maybe Honeysuckle instead?

Sugarfree23 · 01/01/2024 12:42

"Wonder if she spreads like the butter?"
😳😬

My initial thoughts were jokes about 4 leafed clover 🍀.
But spreading like butter and the sexual innuendo that goes with it. No definitely not.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 01/01/2024 12:42

I absolutely love it!!

sunflowerpinks · 01/01/2024 12:41

It sounds so masculine, like Grover.

I really don't think it suits a girl, sorry.

Oldermum84 · 01/01/2024 12:28

Love it.

Pushkinini · 01/01/2024 12:26

I went to school with a Clover back in the 80s. I think it's a lovely name.

Olika · 01/01/2024 12:17

I had to check which section your thread was to understand you were asking about baby names.

twistandfart · 01/01/2024 12:14

Cow or butter, sorry!

Duh · 01/01/2024 11:50

It’s a lovely sound but the cow associations make it a no go!

MargaritaThyme · 01/01/2024 11:49

Great idea. If you have twins, you can call them Clover & Flora. Or, if it’s triplets, Clover, Flora & Utterly Butterly….

itsmyp4rty · 01/01/2024 11:49

I think it's lovely.........but unfortunately only for a cow.

jellytots18 · 01/01/2024 11:48

It's not my cup of tea

But it is quite cute. I don't think it's ridiculous
. If you like it go for it x

theconfidenceofwho · 01/01/2024 11:46

Butter for me too.

Lunabetty · 01/01/2024 11:46

I instantly thought of butter
