Clay is just a word for china. How can it be a name?

It can be a name because it's also an old English surname, which have been used as first names for hundreds of years.

Awful name in my opinion. I apologize to the many out there named this, though.

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

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.

I really like the name Clay. Clayton sounds boring to me.

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.

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.
