What middle name would go with Clover?

All the names I like seem to be nouns, so I need some inspiration for a middle name for Clover... (for my not-even-conceived-yet daughter!)

Clover Elizabeth is beautiful. Perfect balance of quirky eccentric and classic..

I like Clover Elizabeth too.

Funnily enough I posted on here with Clover as a name suggestion for the baby I was pregnant with. Posters were, on the whole, very mean, just as they have been during this thread.

Unfortunately, I lost the baby so never had the chance to call him/her anything. I still love the name and hope you do use it OP.

Oh Cupoftea - that is just awful.

Mmm, agree re. extent of negativity - everyone absolutely entitled to own view, of course, but in this case OP wasn't seeking views on the name Clover itself but suggestions for middle names to go with it!
Hope you find one you love, oyster - at least you have plenty of time for research

Clover Elizabeth sounds good, but I prefer Clover Eliza. LOVE Clover - DP does not

No to Nico - she had far-right views.

Clover Louise

No, Clover Eliza ends up as a semi-rhyme of the 'er' and the 'a'.

I think that Clover Louise is the best, and Clover Elizabeth second.

I do know someone with a very responsible job and a 'quirky' first name, but she actually renamed herself when she was 20 (I think she felt it was chavvy rather than quirky, to be honest - quirky would probably have been fine).

MamaHobgoblin · 23/07/2009 22:06

Oh, I like Clover! First association is the What Katy Did books (and I always loved Clover's name and character), not cows or spreadable butter! Louise is good, yes.

Another vote for Clover Elizabeth. I think it needs a classic name to go with it.

mrsradders · 24/07/2009 15:39

i think its sweet but if you have any referenc to farming in your life etc then avoid, i have friends who are dairy farmers and she was seriously considering Daisy for a girl thank fully babe was a boy!!

Jammybodger · 24/07/2009 20:42

I suppose Mrsradders has hit the nail on the head, if you are rural a name like Clover, Dexter, Daisy, Buttercup etc would signify cattle and so it would be seen as funny in an endearing way just as urban people would probably find some country names and ways laughable.

Tidey · 24/07/2009 20:48

I think it's a lovely name, but have to agree with some other posters that I wouldn't be brave enough to actually use it for fear of 'she spreads easily' jokes etc.

Middle names that sound good with it though:

Elizabeth
Grace
Beatrice
Louise

Clover Mai

I think Clover Louise is just beautiful.

Both soft, pretty names.

Your Clover needs this And only the newborn size is left so it was meant to be.

Clover Louise is lovely, I like Clover-Lou as a name to sing to her.
