Let’s talk Clarence

I think [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] is such a handsome name. I’m almost embarrassed to mention it to anyone as a possible name for a baby bc I get silence and strange looks. Am I crazy? Am I missing something?

Follow up question. Clarence nn Renzo? Would that make sense?

Other than Clancy, what are nns for Clarence?

I’m sorry. :confused: It’s unfortunate that others can’t see the appeal of [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] – yet. But they will. [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] is bound to follow old-fashioned revivals like [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] back into style. You’re just ahead of the curve. Take advantage of that! I think [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] is a great name! :slight_smile:

I really like it! It has a charming vintage vibe. Why would it be crazy? It’s just not fashionable - yet :wink:

I actually really like [name_m]Clarence[/name_m]. It has elegance and grandeur and I love the nn [name_u]Clancy[/name_u]

It would be old fashioned sounding where I live. But you’re not crazy! I can see why you call it handsome.

I love [name_m]Clarence[/name_m]! [name_m]Renzo[/name_m] works ok. [name_f]Clarrie[/name_f] can be a nn.

Renzo might be a stretch, especially when I have a son named [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] named after a [name_m]Renzo[/name_m]. :woman_facepalming:t3::woman_facepalming:t3:

I love [name_m]Clarence[/name_m]. I agree - many people won’t see the appeal. But most names become appreciated again at some point, so [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] will get the attention he deserves!

[name_m]Renzo[/name_m] makes sense! I also like [name_f]Clary[/name_f] or [name_u]Ren[/name_u]

It’s a very nice name but I don’t love it’s nicknames. I actually really like [name_u]Clare[/name_u], but I’d be worried about teasing.

I have always loved [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] notwithstanding.

Clare, [name_f]Clary[/name_f], [name_f]Air[/name_f], [name_u]Ren[/name_u], [name_m]Renzo[/name_m], [name_m]Enzo[/name_m].

We had a beautiful sweet Siamese called [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] and I think of It’s a Wonderful Life too.

Not crazy! [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] is a love name :slight_smile:

I like it! For me the favourites out of the rence ending names are [name_m]Terrence[/name_m] and [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]

Yeah, not crazy about [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], but I think more [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] the [name_u]Angel[/name_u]

I like Rence names too. For me, [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] is my preference over [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] (too [name_m]Larry[/name_m] sounding which I don’t like) but out all together as I have a [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]

What about [name_m]Clark[/name_m]??? [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] nn [name_m]Clark[/name_m]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] do I get on board with [name_u]Clancy[/name_u]. It’s kind of cute. [name_m]Clark[/name_m] is a GP name

I like both but for me [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] had the edge because of the nickname [name_u]Wren[/name_u] :blush:

Oh that is a cool draw to that version.

I’m using [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] as a middle for our third (TTC from.next month) ends up being a boy most probably. It’s a name in our family and I just think it’s great. :blush:

Clarence has been on my list for a while. I think it’s lovely.

I’m pretty sure there’s a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] with a little [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] “[name_u]Ren[/name_u]”, I just can’t remember who it is rn. I adore [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], I think it’s so handsome and I’m sorry you’ve not had a positive reaction to it irl. Nn [name_m]Renzo[/name_m] works! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite nn is [name_u]Clarry[/name_u] (pronounced like [name_u]Harry[/name_u] with a “Cl”), and I like [name_m]Clay[/name_m] too.
