I had a dream last night that I had a child named
Clarence, nn "
Clancy".
I do like
Clarence a lot, it's very old-timey refined gentleman-dweeb, which is my thing.
Clancy as a nickname for
Clarence is a little bit of a reach, but I think it might work. I like
Clare as well. I actually worked with a guy named
Clare and it never felt weird, even though
Clare is pretty firmly a female-only name by now.
WDYT of
Clarence?
