Clyde
I never thought I'd like this as a name. 1. WDYT?2. Any MN or FN suggestions for both a boy and a girl? I like it on both. Which suprised me cause Clyde's listed for both genders on here.I might keep it GP.The Bonnie and Clyde assocation [it's not a great one but it doesn't bother me], neither do the horses.

Clyde is my grandfather's name, so I think of it purely as male. His name is Clyde Leroy. I don't particularly like Leroy though. Off the top of my head, Clyde Edmund or Clyde Ian sound nice.

A man whom I met on a dating site, have been talking to on the phone for quite some time, and am planning to meet in person is named Clyde. I actually thought about posting about the name because of him, but decided against it.
He's a great person, from what I can tell so far, but...no, I don't like his name. Not because of Bonnie and Clyde. I just don't like the sound of it.

It reminds me of a clydesdale (sp.?) horse. Not a bad association though. To be honest, I didn't even think of Bonnie and Clyde. I think I like Clyde. Unfortunately, my mind is completely void of thought right now and I can only think of Clyde Alexander as a combo. Personally, I would only use it on a boy.

Eh, it's okay. I always think of Clydesdales, so that ruins the name somewhat for me. Also, color me surprised that it's listed for both genders. I would never have thought of it for a girl (and I'm not fond of it).I actually think I'd like it best as a middle name because of it's sound. I was trying out combos, and the flow was much easier with it in the middle name spot.William Clyde

Personally, I just can't get past the Bonnie and Clyde association, it's just to obvious and well-known. Morality seems to be quite important for you, would you really want to give your child the name of a famous efferate criminal?
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad name just from the point of view of the sound.
Clyde Edward or Clyde Edmund could work. Or, as a mn, Jospeh Clyde and Alexander Clyde. It's really too weird to contemplate on a girl.

I love my name, but that's a huge downside for meThe fact that I share my name with Aileen Wuornos sometimes upsets me a bit, because I love the originality and uniqueness of my name, having never met an Aileen before in my entire life. But having the same name as a serial killer is never a good association.

I actually saw that movie Monster about her yesterday. Aileen is a name I always liked a lot (still do). Are you ever teased about it because of your name?

I think if I liked the name enough I would (I'm just getting used to Clyde). I mean people use Charles, and Charles Manson is very well known.Thanks for the opinion, I like Clyde Edward.
vote up1
There are lots of other Charles's, though. I would find it very strange if someone named their child Manson!

True [m]True, I just thought maybe it's cause Clyde isn't used a lot which makes sense! LOL.
I HAVE seen a kid named Manson once....

All things considered, though, Clyde is a nice enough name that if you like it you should use it. The association isn't bad enough to ruin it. I would probably make it a mn just to avoid teasing...
The kid named Manson must have a rough life. LOL.
The two namesakes I know of are Charles Manson and Marilyn Manson. Both of which are terrible! And I thought Heven Le'Blessing was bad.
