HelpClark
I’ve always loved the name Clark as girls name.
What do you think of the name Clark? Could it work as feminine name?

Definitely not. It’s very masculine and sounds dreadful for a girl.

It sounds very sharpish and clipped to me. You could certainly name a girl Clark, but I wouldn't count it as a "feminine name' per se.

It’s the first name of Superman so I really can’t see it as anything but male. Also, there’s Clark Gable and it’s hard to get more male than Superman AND Rhett Butler.
I like the sound, though, but I really think this whole “male names on girls” thing needs to stop.

It doesn’t sound remotely feminine to me, possibly because of the Clark Gable association.

Clarke is the name of the main character in the tv show the 100, I always felt it worked on her. Im not a huge fan of the name in general but I can see it being used on a girl

On the right person it would work, but not as a given name. It would have to be their last name or middle name and people would have to call them by it because it fit them.

I love Clark for a girl baby. Totally! Tomboy, but elegant. Maybe her family comes from some money.

Why should it?

No
This was already a mediocre name from the start, but it could never work as a feminine name. I see nothing androgynous about it.

Yes, but only if you name the brother Cynthia or some equivalent.
What? Why not? Cynthia is a nice name.

I agree

Sure, it could work
I think it's ugly, though.

No, I don't think so. I would hope nobody would try it.
I'm not fond of it as a male name either, it's just so sharp and abrupt. This is one Anglo-Saxon surname that really doesn't work very well for a first name, even though it doesn't really grate on me like Murphy or Lowell or something else. It could make a fairly handsome mn.

I think it could work as a girl’s name. I don’t really find the appeal for it on a girl, personally, but in 2020 I could see it for sure.
There is something satisfying about the way the name sounds. I know someone with a 2 year old boy named Clark and while I thought it was kind of a surprising choice, I guess I can see how it fits into a more modern name aesthetic, like Blake or Luke.
I will say my first association is definitely Clark Griswold.

Don't really like the name, especially for a girl

I've only ever known male Clarks, but I think it could totally work! It's super cute, and if you pair it with a feminine middle name, she'll have something to go by if she doesn't like it. Clark is also my bass teacher's name, so I may be a little partial to it lol
