Agree with MoaningYoni, just keep thinking of the butter.

"Roll me over in the clover, roll me over, lay me down and do it again" is the song I think of every time I hear Clover.

However this is closely followed by the sister in the What Katy Did books.

Finally I think of a cow for some reason, sorry Sad

Wasn't that the horse in Animal Farm?

Oh, we don't have Clover butter where we come from so I don't have that association, but that is good to know!

I love it, but DH vetoed it for DC2. Who was a boy anyway. Grin

A dear friend of mine has an 8yo dd named Clover (& a 10yo DD named Raven!)...she loved the names when they were younger. Now that they're getting older and stroppier she laments that she's burdened them with 'stripper' names. Grin

FWIW, when she was choosing names I was an advocate for 'Clover' as I think it's very sweet. I detest the name Raven, though, poor little girl.

I think I like it. Though it sort of makes me think of a rabbit for some reason!

Clover was the name of my sister's first horse - for me it will always be an animal's name. Or the name of a margarine.

I wish my name was Clover, it's Chloe but it always sounded too 'nicknamey' ... GO FOR IT!

My friend had a dog called Clova, after a village in Scotland, I think it's pretty. But for a little girl I prefer Kiva (or Caoimhe ugh).

Isn't that a name from Hunger Games? I think I'd always associate it with the book.

I love it, mostly because of Clover in, 'What Katy Did.'

It will always be What Katy Did for me, but I do understand the cow reference. Doesn't seem to affect the popularity of similar names though.

I'm unaware of the "butter" reference, as I never buy those artificial spreads, only real butter so I don't look at the rest of it.

I like it. Clo for a nn is lovely too.

I like it a lot. Soft and gentle without being too cutesy. I wouldn't be too worried about the brand association either.
