me too...
Especially Clive. Clive is so pretentious and posh. It was never big in the US so you can't really even say it's retro, not here. Also, it always makes me think of some kind of seasoning mix, like chives and cloves mixed together. Yuck.Oliver is fairly hipster, but Ollie doesn't have the same vibes to it. Ollie is more like the fat kid who mainly shows up in a book or a movie to get stuck in tight places or fall into a vat of cookie dough or something.

The fact that I've met two little Cloves - yes, met - makes me think it's big. It has all the hipster criteria - British, old-fashioned, ironic, etc. Ditto Ollie. Oliver is yuppie, Ollie hipster

Have you met any little Nutmegs? I definitely see Nutmeg as feminine.Sorry, I couldn't resist. Sometimes your typos are funny.

I've called my Meg "Nutmeg" a few times. She's a crazy baby. :)

you won't believe this ...But years and years ago, I read a continuing story over several issues of some Christian teen magazine. I was probably not even ten. Anyway, the story, best i can remember, was about an American family hosting? adopting? a Vietnamese? Cambodian? girl and the daughter had some problems adjusting and was jealous. I don't remember the Asian girl's actual name, but the little brother of the family started calling her Nutmeg because he thought she was that color, and it stuck as a nickname with her new American friends.

NP.
Soon I'll have a proper a keyboard.I'm surprised Nutmeg hasn't come up on the board, honestly.
