I prefer it to Daisy and Poppy, both of which are very popular

The margarine has ruined it for me.

I think that it could lead to creepy comments because it's one letter away from lover.

Love it!
It's only the margarine which puts me off a bit.

WaitinginVain · 24/02/2022 00:21

I love it.

Moo! Moo!

I like it, Clove is nice as a nickname too

I think it’d be hard to pull off.

Katy's sister in What Katy Did. I loved her! Especially in What Katy Did At School. Clover was fun!

A horse in Animal Farm

I love it but I think you need a surname to go with it that doesn’t sound like you’ve wandered out of a dairy. So Clover Williams or whatever- fine. Clover Butterfield- bit much.

Nice for a cow.

I honestly think clove as a nickname makes it even worse. All it does is emphasise that Clover doesn’t have a very nice sound to it, plus highlights the association with cloven/clove of garlic etc.

I know of two siblings called Clover and Flora. Hmm

It's cute but it's always the name given to cows. Knowing how brutal some kids can be I'd worry about my child being taunted by mooing at school if she fell out with anyone.
