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....

Bet you wouldn’t turn your nose up at Clive Owen.

Is that your friend Bertrand? I wish he was my friend

Oh God! Wilf! I know one - born within days of DS.

Clive

I think it’s still a bit too soon for that one

You cannot hold a tiny precious new born baby in your arms and whisper “Hello Clive!” You just can’t..

I was really hoping you were going to say Geoffrey.

I knew a sleazy Clive so its not for me.

no one in iron maiden is called clive ....?

Clive, Geoffrey, and Roy. There probably is a hipster family with a trio of such sons.

Sister called Jan.

Or Kay.

The more I look at the name it just looks so wrong. It's more of a verb. E.g. to clive, a regional variation of cleave. Or as a nickname for a Scottish name, Clivermore or MacLiver. I made them up, but you get my drift...

🤮

Clive, Malcolm, Geoffrey, the baby triplets. With paunches, golf handicaps and Masonic memberships.

Thought you were going to write Guy .

Clive. A name I associate with late middleaged gentlemen of Caribbean ancestry. With at least one elderly parent mad about cricket.

Malcolm I now associate with Firefly.

I think ‘Clive’ has something about it.

Clive of India. Sits well with the other great Victorian figures. And there are more recent admirable Clives like Clive James and Clive Lloyd.

And it’s no stupider than most MN baby name suggestions.

My Dad’s name is Clive and he’s definitely born before 1996!! Maybe closer to 1896!

I’d laugh but I have a friend who’s just named their ds Bruce. I just can’t look her in the eye as every time she says it I get a mental image of Bruce bogtrotter. “You can do it Bruce”

I've heard much, much worse!

I like Nigel. I seem to be almost alone there...

Awful name.

Bestiswest and namechange30 hmmm we must be about the same age-
If it's the other sort of name:
Kevin
Keith
Brian
Gavin
Glyn
Trevor
Gary

And a bit more recently
Jason
Wayne
Darren

And I'm sorry, but because of the horrible toad, I can never like the name "Nigel"

Anyone remember Clive Gibbons from Neighbours?

Was Clive Gibbons the doctor Gedge ? ginger haired? or am I thinking of someone else ? (haven't watched since neighbours left the beeb)
