What do you think of this boys name

[PSL1990]

Clarence

Love it. The name of the angel in It's a wonderful life.

I don’t like it but I wouldn’t say I hate it either

Another E-Street fan here so I say gofor it

I actually shuddered when I opened the thread & saw the name. So it's a no from me.

It's ok for me but like a PP, I'm not so keen on the shortening options he might get.
I know a female Claz and I'm not keen. On the name, she's nice.

reminds me of the film 8 mile

'this boys a gangster?? his real name's Clarence.......'

so, no, incase that's not clear:-D

I quite like it. DH suggested it for DC3 and I laughed and said he was ridiculous, but it’s actually growing on me...

I know a Clarence that goes by Larry. I prefer Lawrence but Clarence wouldn't be out of place where we live.

Duke of Clarence - drowned in a barrel of wine by his brother.

Just no

Yikes.

I think it's fine and different yet not batty.

I think it’s okay, I don’t like it personally, but then a lot of people probably wouldn’t like DS’s name.

I like it but only when shortened to Cal

Cal is not an obvious nn for Clarence

Sorry OP it's a no from me, to Clarence and Cal

If I asked my teen and 9 yr old what they thought about the name Clarence, I'm sure I would receive quizzical looks and queries if it's a boy's or girl's name.

It's probably due a come-back, but in another decade.

I don’t like it at all.

I don’t feel strongly either way, but I do predict that those Maurice, Clarence, Walter type names will resurge soon.

To the pp who said Clarence is "great for a ginger cat", I had a ginger Clarence cat!

It really suited him but I cannot imagine a child with the name. Even if a boy gets away with it on the grounds of being cute at 5 years old he'll not manage to look cute as a 30 year old Clarence.

He’ll need to be tall, very, very handsome and extremely confident to carry it.

I don't like it.
