Can I suggest a boy’s name? Easy to spell and pronounce, classic,no negative associations that I know of, and only 4 last year. And only in double figures a couple of times since 1896.&0£.

[BertrandRussell]

And the name of a lovely, lovely friend of mine who has just cooked us a delicious dinner....

oh, i wanted it to be Derek.

you don't get any Dereks any more...

Clive makes me think of a 50-something accountant who plays golf at the weekend -

• which I suppose means it will soon come back into fashion, along with Graham, Howard and Derek.

LIke Clive Sinclair, Clive James, Clive somebody or other from Iron Maiden, Clive Cussler the author, Clive Dunn, Clive Anderson, Clive Mantle, the author of stig of the dump and CS Lewis you mean?

There must be many more.

I quite like it. I know three Clives. All v nice people and all have a terrific sense of humour. They are 70, 60 and 56.

Or Julian.

Clive of India. Not necessarily a good association, though I do acknowledge it was his surname..,

Yuk

Bruce

Not a fan at all! Sorry, Bertrand’s friend Clive!

Awful name! Who calls a baby Clive?! 😂😂

It's like Nigel 🤣

Prefer the spelling Klyve frankly. It's even rarer.

Bruce
Clive
Derek
Nigel (Nige for short)

It's a no from me

DH's car is called Clive

It’s a terrible name

I think Clive is brilliant.

I think of Clives as “suave”.

Like Nigel Havers. Or a Jilly Cooper love interest.

@ThroughThickandThin01
my car is called Keith!

Oh I forgot Keith in my dream name list, sorry PP

I went to school with a Clive, at the age of 9 he had a briefcase, I think he might have secretly been an accountant or tax man in his spare time.

Perfect name for a labrador. Not for a human.

I knew a guy called Clive who claimed to have been a porn star in his youth, it was not a mental image I needed.

There was a kid when I was at school called Clive, he had a receding hairline at 11 and didn't like P.E, said his glasses used to slip off his nose. Poor Clive, I wonder where he is now?

Doomed to the terrible job of retrieving lobsters from Jayne Mansfield's bum.

My Dad went to school with Clive Anderson. Apparently he was a bit of a bellend.

Now, Bruce is a great name.
