What do you think of the name [name]Clete[/name]? My husband suggested it the other day, and I think I really like it. [name]Clete[/name] would be the full name, we’re not loving [name]Cletus[/name].
I personally would definitely shy away from this name. To be completely honest, he would get made fun of in his teen and adult years due to its tendency to sound like a private female part. So sorry! It also reminds me of soccer cleats, but that isnt as bad as the first thing it sounded like to me.
[name]How[/name] about the name [name]Clint[/name] or [name]Clinton[/name]? It has the same sound as [name]Clete[/name] without the sexual innuendo.
Here are some other suggestions!
[name]Clint[/name] / [name]Clinton[/name]
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Kent[/name]
[name]Clay[/name] / [name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Clive[/name]
[name]Clift[/name]
[name]Cabbott[/name]
[name]Conant[/name]
[name]Curtis[/name] (nn [name]Curt[/name])
[name]Corbett[/name]
If you really love the name though, then please don’t listen to what i am saying! However, i do have one more suggestion! If you end up naming your son this name, i would spell it Cleat, since it is more similar to soccer “cleats” then the other idea!
[name]Hope[/name] this helps!
[name]Clete[/name] is not my choice in name. If you and your husband like it and its your kid name him clete. It just seems really old an nerdy.
I’m so sorry! I had the same reaction as others, it really would be hard for him on the playground, I would imagine
My first thought was athletic footwear.
First thought was isn’t that a type of footwear … cletes, clogs, hmmm. [name]How[/name] about the name [name]Clive[/name] as an alternative?
reminds me of [name]Cletus[/name] the Slack-Jawed Yokel from the Simpsons
