I know it's a French male name, but Claude has never sounded masculine to me, at all. I put this down to me liking names like Audrey, Maude, and (of course) Claudia for girls, so the "aud" sound now leaves me with a feminine impression. So Claude, as a masculine name, seems very effeminate - even effete, almost. I'm actually imagining a French version of Uriah Heap.
So no, sorry, I don't like Claude.
