I know three under ten. It's also nms.
The moral of Pete's story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song... because it's all good.

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!

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.

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.

Really?
I honestly do know three Clives. One has siblings Mamie, Alfred and Ollie.

Look at the popularity chart. I was surprised to read that comment too.
