What do you think of Clover for a girl? Do you think it works on an adult?

My immediate thought is 'What Katy Did'. I quite like it, it's sweet without being cutesy. I can't say I'd like to be called Clover myself, though.

MiniMum97 · 03/06/2019 16:27

I love it too!

SundayMorningSun · 03/06/2019 16:29

Oh we all love Clover, all over this land. Grin

To me it is a bit of an animal name too, sorry - because of the horse in Animal Farm, which lots of kids read at school.

I'm not sure I'd like to be called Clover particularly, but maybe if I was an arty type I would. Chloe is one of my favourites, though.

Sorry first thing I think is the butter spread followed by a popular name for a cow.

Susannach · 03/06/2019 16:34

@alltheflowerfairies Marigold? Love those together! Fab names.

I know about the butter spread but I don’t think it’s a huge issue. Flora I also love and that’s quite popular despite the spread.

@DramaAlpaca Yes, I first heard it as a name in the Katy books! I thought Clover was a great character and the name has always stuck with me.

WhatKaty Did character, so good associations.
Easy enough for most people to understand I’d have thought?

I gave both my kids nice middle names which they could use if they disliked their first name. It’s not been necessary, but it’s an easy enough solution if your unsure.

I’m a nature lover and thought about plant names, but I didn’t think of clover, which is a shame, it’s lovely.

I had a chubby cream guinea pig called Clover when I was younger. She was scrummy Smile

Nillynally · 03/06/2019 16:46

Oh sweet! Love it

Big fan of the Katy books, love the name. It’s a yes from me

bluebellation · 03/06/2019 16:47

I really like it; a bit individual but not too out there or twee.

CarolDanvers · 03/06/2019 16:47

It's a name for a cow.

DD in the supermarket just now. I told her it’s how she got her name Grin

Don't mind it, but it's quite a hard sound.

Susannach · 03/06/2019 18:13

@alltheflowerfairies Ahh, she really suits it!

It's one of the rabbits in Watership Down

Familygirl88 · 03/06/2019 18:25

Absolutely love it. Unusual but not weird

birdonawire1 · 03/06/2019 18:33

Something I'd name a cow

Usuallyinthemiddle · 03/06/2019 18:35

Ilovewillow · 03/06/2019 18:39

Lovely - my daughter is a Willow also a butter and an animal name apparently- no issues here! Clover is really pretty!

Mustangsallyis · 03/06/2019 19:35

I used to go to school with a Clover. I like the name.
