What do you think of the name Clive?

I think it's an okay name, but it's nms because it reminds me of both the word 'cleave' and chives.
Trendy
I know three under ten. It's also nms.

Interesting. Are they all in your area? Perhaps there's a regional popularity. I meet a lot of children, and I've never met a Clive before!
Yes.
Two are friends of friends, one is a child I just met at the library.

*sons of friends.
I did the math and you know .579% of all the Clives born in the last 10 years.
Which is roughly the equivalent of knowing all the Andrews born in 2013. Andrew was #22 that year; there were 11622 of them.

LOL
That's hilarious.

I agree.
Clive is more of a dated name than a trendy one. I've noticed a lot of older British men are named Clive. (Clive seems to have been more common in the UK than the US. Frasier even had a joke about the Britishness of the name Clive in one episode. Clive only appeared on the US charts nine times - 1885, 1892, 1895, 1897, 1899, 1906, 1930, 1931, and 1935.)

That's weird. Clive has not even been in the top 1000 names (at least in the US) since 1935.

I've always thought it was a lot weirder than it actually is. It sounds like an herb or something to me, like between clove and chive in flavor, with a touch of olive maybe. Get creme fraiche and clives on your baked potato instead of sour cream and chives.
Not considering the fact that the author of The Chronicles of Narnia had this name, I have never been partial to it.
I'm mostly indifferent but I think it could grow on me.
