I like it on a kid. I know I have asked for opinions on the name before and apparently people from the UK think its chavvy but here in the US people just think of Clive Owen who is decidedly not chavvy so... Great, not ridiculous, unless of course if you live in the UK apparently.

I don't see how it's chavvy. C. S. Lewis was named Clive, and he was pretty well-educated. I admit, it's kind of old-fashioned. I kinda like it, actually.

I've never heard anyone in the UK say the name Clive is chavvy. What it is is dated. I can't imagine a Clive younger than 50 and Clive Owen was born in 1964 (whoa!) so he's probably one of the youngest.It's no more ridiculous than using any other name which fell out of fashion 40-50 years ago.
