The kind of person I picture with the name Clotilde is a 45+ double-process-blonde school administrator who lost the plot ten years ago and walks around with the fakest smile, seeming to somehow think she's good at her job while the school (not merely the student body) hates her.

---

If that sounds incredibly specific, that's because it is based on personal experience: this was the name of my high school Dean of Students, and she was about one encounter with a "troubled student" away from fully becoming the female, 2000s version of Principal Vernon from The Breakfast Club. Only once or twice did I hear one of her coworkers call her "Clo," but Clotilde was on the ID on her lanyard.

So no, I don't have a good association with this name at all. Sorry.

Clotilde's siblings would likely also have Germanic or heavy names, like:

Albert (or any "Bert" name)
