Clover
What do you think of the name Clover?Personally the name is growing on me. I think it would be especially cool on either:A. A kid born on St. Patrick’s Day
B. A dog"People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all day."'*•.¸♡ Have a great day/night! ♡¸.•*' Rate my personal name list please :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/217493

Love it, especially for a boy. It's so beatnik but gentle.

Have a bit of a fondness for this one, though it's a bit cute. Giving it to a kid born on St. Patrick's day would be a bit much though.

A good name for a cow.

Well I’m most definitely in the minority here, but I LOVE the name Clover! I don’t see it as a silly name only suited to an animal, I really just don’t get that at all tbh! I’ve only met one Clover in my life and that’s when I was a teen. It’s on my list for future possible use and one of my top names actually.

I used to like it, but don't really anymore.
It's somehow even more self-consciously pastoral than Meadow and Sorrel.
I agree about cartoon baby animal vibe. I don't like the St Patricks Day gimmick, but it could suit a dog. Better a horse.
It also irritates me slightly that the word "lover" is right there. And "over." It's not as namey as it should be.
Clove and Clovis both seem better to me right now.

I've known several horses named Clover growing up so to me it is a horse name but I can see it for any type of pet. I like nature names in general it'd be a bold choice for someone but not unlivable imo. I imagine a Clover running a successful Etsy shop.

Clover is cute on a cow or a rabbit.A kid named Clover because he/she was born on St. Patrick's Day is cringey.A dog named Clover is okay, but I think the name works better on herbivores.

CuteI would probably roll my eyes, however, if I learned that someone named Clover was born on St. Patrick's day.

I think it’s only good for a pet.

I have a soft spot for Clover. Sort of a guilty pleasure. I associate it most with Clover Adams, wife of Henry Adams and possibly the inspiration for Henry James' book "Daisy Miller. In her case, though, it was a nickname that she was always known by. I had a foster kitten once named Clover.

Nice.

I agree, not to be used on a person born on st. Patrick's day. I like it though.

I knew a kid named Clover growing up. He was eccentric.I think it's okay, but it doesn't do much for me, personally. I usually don't have a problem with names that end in -er, but that sound doesn't work for me with this name. I don't know why that is.

maybe because it just sounds funny?I don't know why, it's a perfectly legitimate word, but as a name it's just so cartoon baby animal. Clover the Tap-dancing Bunny or something. Clover the Cow Who Didn't Want to Fly to the Moon.

ThisIt’s a perfectly fine name for a goat or cow.

I grew up watching Totally Spies animated series, and it reminded me of Clover. I still like the show to this day. Clover is sorta pretty, but it's too kitschy for me.
