Chloe or Clancy?
Which do you prefer as a girl's name?
Is Clancy too goofy and masculine for a girl? Would she resent having a 'boys' name? Or is it original?
Is Chloe just a prettier name?

I actually went to school with a girl named Clancy. I think she liked her name; I wasn't particularly close to her.Chloe is better, in my humble opinion. Feminine, spunky, and undeserving of the bad wrap its received on the boards lately. Really, I don't understand what so many people have against it. It's a perfectly respectable name, as far as I'm concerned.

Chloe definitely. It's a female name and a pretty one at that. Clancy is all masculine and not suitable for a girl imo.

Clancy sounds too masculine-- especially after the Tom Clancy novels.

Not only would she most likely resent having a boys name, I think she may resent having a not-so-attractive boys name too. Clancy has such a harsh and awkward sound to it. Chloe is much, much, much better.

Chloe is prettier, imo. Clancy seems all boy to me. I wouldn't like having it as a girl.

Chloe hands downI find Clancy really unattractive, it's just a surname to me, and not remotely feminine.

I'm not hugely fond of Chloe, but it's miles better than the surnamey Clancy, which reminds me of the Aussie poem "Clancy of the Overflow"
Cecile, Claire and Celia are pretty C names imo

Chloe!Clancy isn't just way too masculine, I also find it very unattractive.

I'm Australian and at first I hadn't thought of the 'Clancy of the Overflow' association, but when I have mentioned the name to others almost all of them have said 'Clancy of the Overflow'. I was drawn to the name in that it's something a bit different, but the more I consider it the more I find it a very goofy clownlike name..
