I know it has associations with boring old men in pubs, but if we try to ignore that, is it really that bad?

Will it go the same way as Esme or Jack; old people's names that have come back into fashion?

See, I LIKE Clive. Also Calvin. Fab names.

The one Clive I know under 40 has been extrememly rude to my mother on several occasions. I don't like it. Maybe in about 10 or so years.

No. Sorry. Rein the hormones in. It will never be an alfie or a freddie or a ned. It will always be clive, a slightly lecherous client. SOrry.

My Father is called Clive btw, which is why I ask. Never dreamt of naming a son after him, but pregnancy hormones are making me think again...
