No, I really like it. She was the favourite sister in 'What Katy did'.

Troubledee · 24/08/2019 18:28

I like it

EL8888 · 24/08/2019 18:30

Exactly this @amandajaynex

I like it

HeronLanyon · 24/08/2019 18:30

I like it. Not sure I would use it. I like it a lot when read in say a 1920s/30s novel.

BunnyJumps · 24/08/2019 18:31

Very bohemian. I like wouldn't use it but like it.

AverageMummy · 24/08/2019 18:42

Just makes me think of margarine

CherryPavlova · 24/08/2019 18:43

I know a middle aged Clover - real name is Clothilde but everyone calls her Clover. I think it’s rather nice.

Yika · 24/08/2019 18:47

I personally find it a bit ridiculous, to be honest. I'd suggest giving them a rather plain/classic middle name if you do go for it.

pumkinspicetime · 24/08/2019 18:48

I considered this name and still like it.

MrsGilly1 · 24/08/2019 18:50

Hi,

I like it but I hear it a lot as a name for a pet x

Whoops75 · 24/08/2019 18:51

Yes

It’s awful

crustycrab · 24/08/2019 18:52

It's a cows name

Whattodo20192 · 24/08/2019 18:56

It's not ridiculous but it wouldn't be for me

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/08/2019 18:58

I quite like it for a baby 🐄

Violetparis · 24/08/2019 19:00

It's a name for a cartoon cow.

ParkheadParadise · 24/08/2019 19:01

4 leaf clover
Sorry, I don't like for a name.

NoodlesMcGee · 24/08/2019 19:02

Definitely first thought "that would be a nice name for a cow".

Spoonsmum · 24/08/2019 19:02

It makes me immediately think of a bunny. Though I have no idea why. I like it :)

DontCallMeShitley · 24/08/2019 19:07

I am sure I saw this thread a few weeks ago...

Many replies saying it was a good name for a cow. Or a spread.

Lickyourlollypop · 24/08/2019 19:11

Absolutely gorgeous. If other plant/flower names are acceptable then why not Clover?! I love it!

icecreamsundae32 · 24/08/2019 19:11

@Spoonsmum isn't the rabbit is Sofia the first called clover?

Goingbacktokansascity · 24/08/2019 19:18

And we allll love clover, all over the land. Sorry 😐 butter

riotlady · 24/08/2019 19:26

Cos we all love Clover, if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that we all love Clover, it’s the way that it’s churned!

PrincessLouis · 24/08/2019 19:31

I also love What Katy Did so it gets a maybe for that reason, but otherwise a bit dairy-ish / silly maybe?

BrunettesDoItBetter · 24/08/2019 19:37

Tbh I first thought of the sister from What Katy Did then I thought of the margarine.
