Not too bad, but I'd never really use it. People are super split on the name, so that's the only thing I would really be wary of. I think it also could maybe get bullies to pick on it, so that's why I would just use the name Clayton, and call them Clay. I once met a guy named Clayton, and he went by CJ.

I honestly think Clayton is better than Clay. Clay seems much too strange for a name.

Clay is far better than Clayton for sure.
I think it could work for a boy thanks to similar names like Barclay or Clyde.
The meaning is strange: here in Italy 'Clay' is 'argilla' (or 'creta' if you mean the one for pottery) that are not given names at all (but in this case they would be feminine).
However Clay has a simple, solid and sunny sound with a country and outdoorsy vibe. It is strong and youthful.
I would not use it but maybe for a character... of course!

Clay is a sexy name. I agree with it because Clay is in ponds like in the best game ever named Minecraft.

Although it may seem eccentric to name your child after mud, the 1953 edition of the journal "Names" sheds some light as to why the name might have been chosen in the past:
"If a mother has lost two children in childbirth or shortly thereafter, she can be assured of the survival of her third child, according to popular belief, only if the second baby lies buried face down in the grave and the third child is named for Mother Earth".
Hence any name with "earthy" meanings would have made a good choice for the third child to ensure its survival.

This name will lead to teasing because "clay" is a material used for making pottery. It also sounds rather trashy, and I don't really like Clay Aiken.

I'm from Kentucky, and there are quite a few men in the family tree with Clay as a middle name. It's been passed down the line since one ancestor was named for Henry Clay, the influential Kentucky senator who founded the Whig Party.

The name sounds quite immature, maybe not as infantile as Chase, but still quite youthful. How about naming your son Clayton instead?
