Call me crazy, but I'm not necessarily a fan of Clifford (Big Red Dog), Clifton (sounds a bit too much like I'm naming him after a town), or even Heathcliff, though that's probably my favorite of the three. But I love Cliff as a name by itself. It's short, simple, easy to pronounce even when he's little, and when he gets older, it has a bit of an edge to it. (No pun intended.) I love it!
No offense to anyone with this name, but for some reason this name reminds me of death. :/ Even though I have that weird connection with that name, I think it is a pretty okay name.

A lifeguard at my beach is named Cliff. I asked him what it's short for, and he said Clifford. He didn't want to be called the big red dog so NOBODY calls him Clifford.
