Heh. Actually, I went through a brief spell of liking
Clare for a boy. I read the name in a book, on a male character, and I found it quite charming. I think it could work as a NN for
Clarence. (The only reason I'm out of said "brief spell" is because I really adore
Clara for a girl, though it's not necessarily first on my list. And my mother doesn't appear to like
Clare on a boy much, either.)
Though, I must say, Farter has some serious charm. If I do say so, it's much nicer than
Clare. I'd keep it. ;)
