Clarence

I need to know if I've gone mad. This name is not a name that I would have even considered before I fell pregnant, but it continues to grow on me the more that I've thought about it. I just think Clarence sounds like a cute name for a little boy and would also sound mature in adulthood. Thoughts?

I love it, it’s one of my favourite boys names. Classy, smart, beautiful, classic.

What on earth is this lion everyone is going on about? And can lions even be cross-eyed?

Oh and I've heard worse names than Clarence. It's quite sweet

I think it's quite sweet. And quite dignified for a grown man.

Sorry op I don’t like it. Try shouting it in the park and see what reaction you get .

I like it - I had a lovely Uncle Clarence. I also like Clement (my maternal grandfather’s name)

Go for it

Clarence was my husbands Grandads name - also known as Cal. The loveliest man I ever met.

Haven't rtft but what about Cary as in Cary Elwes 😍

I know a couple of difference Clares who are known as Clarence as an affectionate (longer) nickname…..i do think it’s on the feminine side but maybe I’m just being swayed by that. And also maybe you don’t care about that. My daughter has a unisex name ….unless you’re genuinely struggling to find one you Iove it’s probably best not to ask for opinions - as you can see by this thread it’s very much 50/50 so probably not much help!

Gorgeous go for it! We don’t need another George!

Indeed it is a shame there’s only a choice between two names 🤣

A bold choice OP but Clarence could grow on me.
