What do you think of this boys name

[PSL1990]

Clarence

Hideous. Brings visions of snooty upper class men.

Oh I don't like it one bit.

no.

Awful. nn Clarrie?

Honestly, I think it has hideous Little Lord Fauntleroy-type associations. Or a Dublin hotel owned by some of U2.

Lion?
Angel?

Not for me but in your social circles it may be different.

Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion - pretty sure it was an old film or TV show.

Great for a ginger cat 🐈

Dreadful, second the ginger cat suggestion.

I love it but it’s name that was used in my extended family. We are not upper class or snooty in any way either.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I cannot understand why it’s not used more. I know a little boy with this name (not posh) and it really suits him

How come Laurence is acceptable but Clarence doesn’t seem to be?

It’s a classic name and sooooo rare (like 5 boys a year with this name)

Honestly with all the Hunters, Fox and Wolf around now, no one is going to bat an eyelid at Clarence. A classic that would suit any child

It's awful.

Awful. Sorry

Don't like it at all.

Absolutely, 100% horrible.

How come Laurence is acceptable but Clarence doesn’t seem to be?

I like the name Lawrence not so much Clarence.
Depends who you're asking some may not accept Lawrence but love Clarence 🤷🏻‍♀️

To me they're not similar at all.

I quite like it, makes me think of Clarence Clemons.

It’s a no from me

Reminds me of the film true romance. Love it.

I like it, but I’m thinking of what his teenage friends will shorten it to. Claz, Clazzer, Clarrie... unless you have a surname that he would go by in, say a sports match.

‘On me ‘ed Clazzer!’ or ‘Man on Smithy!’ (insert own surname here)

Sister Mary Clarence ❤️

Don't like it for a boy though

I quite like it, makes me think of Clarence Clemons.

Me too. I saw the E Street band live before he died and they were phenomenal. Great name.

Really showing my age here - but the first thing I thought of was Clarence, the cross-eyed lion from Daktari - a tv series from when I was a wee lassie many moons ago.

I like it but only when shortened to Cal
