Girly names....Clover?

[GiveMeVegemite]

I like unique, but girly names. I did like Lola, but have seen it completely overused and am now pretty off it.

What are your thoughts on Clover? Does it sound like a horse's name? Or a leprechaun? Another suggestions for girly, but different names?

Hate Lola though!

I don't find it feminine at all, sorry. But I don't like Lola either, so perhaps we just have different tastes .

Love Clover, it's on my dream list that I'm not aloud too use along with Juniper. Beautiful name, think Jennifer Anniston played a character called clover in a film....

Shouldn't it be Clovina or Cloverina for a girl? Clover does sound quite masculine. How about Daisy or Rose if you like feminine flower names?

Definitely a cow's name

I quite like Clover (another What Katy Did fan!) but not enough to use it myself.

Quite like it

but too many conatations for cows and butter imo.

Puts me in mind of cows/rabbits too.

Sorrell, Tansy, Bryony, Saffron???

I love it. When I read WKD I used to wish my own name was Clover.
My DH however had it on his list of cows names, although his is quite an annoyingly long list of "nope, moooo" as he grew up on a cow farm. According to him Harriet and Emma are also cows names?!!

Clover brings rabbits to mind, I'm afraid.

How about Fleur? Flora could be nice but then you'd get the margarine connotations.

Love it!

Clover-spreadable butter

a no from me

Awful

Oooh, pretty! I like it.

Love it - think of 'What Katy Did' rather than cows! It's feminine without being frilly or fussy, and I like the nature connection. Definitely a marmite name, though (a bit like Tabitha, one of my other favourites, which invariably gets either 'love it' or 'cat's name' when people comment on it!)

I'm really surprised at people saying it sounds hard/masculine - to me it's very definitely a girls' name. I quite like it really, but then I was also a big fan of the WKD books! Doesn't particularly make me think of cows, or butter.

Tbh I much prefer it to Lola. Have you thought of Claudia, Florence, Tabitha, Esme?

I like Clover, and fwiw cows are usually called things like 'D3472' . I've never heard of a cow called Clover.

As a human I'd find it preferable to be called D3472 rather than Clover!

squuosh sorry, that sounds dark

Ok....so what middle names go with Clover then? My husband loves the name lily, but Clover Lily sounds like a plant. Last name starts with an S.

"I'm really surprised at people saying it sounds hard/masculine"

Becuase most names ending in -over are masculine e.g. Rover, Grover, Glover. I don't know anyone, male or female, named Clover but I would assume it is a male name if I saw it written down.

I actually think it sounds a bit like clever, and would more so on the phone

"hi my name is Clover xyz"
" Glover you say?"
"no, Clover"
"clever?"
"no, not clever, Clover"
", not clever, "

sorry, not taking the piss.
just can't help my imagination.

I agree Clover Lily sounds like a plant. You could have Clover Lilian.
Clover Juliana
Clover Elizabeth
Clover Mary
Clover Alice
Clover Madeleine
Clover Emilia

Don't really like it. Sorry.

Fern has the same 'feel' to it. A cool shady sort of place.

Clodagh is similar.
