Clay?

[mothertobe789]

Honest opinions? Not Clayton! Just Clay :)

Only if your surname is Potts.

No sorry.

Why not Clayton? It's more substantial if that's the name you like.

Because my surname ends with "ton" so clayton wouldnt go.

I don't like it sorry

Awful.

I love it and it would be one of my boy names.

Well if he grows up to be a model you could call him Modelling Clay

It's a word not a name

No. Feet of clay? It doesn't have a good image. There must be something earthy that is better.

I don’t like it by the way. Clay reminds me of mud and for me conjures up an image of a rather dull and slow witted, heavy little boy

Cassius Clay. I think it's ok for that reason but isn't there a Clay Rooney?

It wouldn't be on my list, but I think that even unusual names which make some people throw up their hands in horror, always become the only name you could ever imagine that particular child having!

That's a fair enough reason not to use it, if that's the name you like go for it regardless of what other people think.
Others you may like are:
Clement
Cole
Cai/Kai

Love it and hope to use it some day! It's one of the only names my husband and I both like

Dreadful. Spent the whole two series of 13 Reasons Why querying the sanity of parents who decided Clay would be a good name.

Oh dear op, Clay is a euphemism for faeces where I'm from, sorry.

Clay and Cley are old pagan names, referring to the burying of a dead sibling face down as a sacrifice to the earth, and naming subsequent babies after mud

Hell no.

It would be fine if you lived in Idaho.

Have you been watching Sons of Anarchy?

Nope. It's awful.

It's a bit too American for me tbh.

Unless you do live in the US, in which case go ahead.

13 reasons why was my first thought

It's a bit Rooney.

I do know it as a name as it is the name of a suspect in the shooting of JFK.

It's VERY unusual in UK so I think that would be thought of as weird.

However as a name I like it.
