Clay?

[hutsing]

Opinions on Clay for a boy? Is it too American??

You've been watching 13 Reasons Why I think....

I like american names.

Its fine for a name

Only if you go with Pigeon as a middle name! But seriously I live in America and have never met a Clay. I did used to know a British Clayton though.

When I watched '13 reasons why' I thought "Clay?" What an odd name. I haven't heard it since. Does anyone else know any Clays? (Genuine question)

Reminds me of Sons of Anarchy. Not a great connection for me.

It’s a no from me

I know you shouldn't say anything if you don't have anything nice to say but...I think it's awful, really tacky. That's just me though.

No, it's just a silly word to me, not a nice name.

Very American.

Also Clay with a London accent sounds dreadful.

@userofthiswebsite nope - I actually first heard it in One Tree Hill years ago!

But do you like what it means? When I hear Clay I just think of lumps of wet greyish clay. On the plus side, it is ready to be moulded into anything ("did I request thee, Maker, of my clay to make me man?"). But on the downside it's grey, heavy, wet, shapeless...

As in dirt? You can't do that!

personally really don't like it but choosing names is a v personal thing

makes me think ; mud; bricks sand. similar words

no sorry. I know it's American but it's not a nice name. It's clay. Chay maybe? or Troy?

My dsil named her ds a very American sounding name and no one else really likes it. I think it sounds strange in our local accent plus she has no American connection. Her and bil just liked the name, everyone else thinks it's weird.

Go with a name you love by all means but if you'll find it annoying when others ask you why you named your ds that name, then steer clear.

One of Wayne Rooney's sons is a Klay with a K.

Awful.

As long as it's first sibling is called Mud

It's short for Clayton, surely?

At least I knew a Clay (American) who was a Clayton.

One of Wayne Rooney's sons is a Klay with a K.

Of course it is.

To go with Kai and Kayden or whatever.

I love Clayton ❤️

Oh, come on.

I really like Clayton, with nn Clay.

Yes, I do like Clay. I guess I'm the odd one here. I appreciate the sound of it, which is the point.

LIKE! Both Clay and Clayton.

I had a crush on that character
