Now however, he’s eternally a dog’s name, as we have two dogs named Jester & Clyde :)

Clyde is interesting, isn’t he? He’s not self important like Clive, he’s not nerdy like Clarence, he’s a little of both, I think. I doubt I would ever use him, but I’d like to meet the mommy who would!

Where we live, I see a socioeconomic slice of the population from the deep, rural south. Clyde’s just one of those names– like Elmer, Leroy, and Cleatus– that jest won’t shine up no matter how much yew polish ‘em. Smacks of NASCAR and WWF Superstars of Wrestling for me.

Funny how Dexter stays off my lists, but Clyde is there, . I find him split between country & city, myself. I didn’t even think of clydesdales until they were mentioned here! Maybe I just fuzz over what I dislike? Beats me. All I know is I am fascinated with a few boys Cl names (Clyde, Claud/e & Clancy) right now. Clancy is top of the heap for me but Clyde & Claud/e are right behind. I”d love to meet one, I think it’s definitely just about hip.
