[Opinions] Blythe and Clover
a day or two ago I asked for girls names suggestions and someone suggested Blythe. I hadn't ever really thought about it before but now I'm really beginning to like it. So, WDYT? is it useable today or too out dated? Also, do you think Blythe and Matilda work as siblings?This is totally random but also, WDYT of Clover? Maybe only as a middle name but I don't know, I think its got sass.

I love Blythe. I knew a girl named Blythe in high school, and I really thought it was swell.It's different, spunky, and totally usable. I also think Blythe works with Matilda.I would only use Clover as a middle name. There's something quaint about it, but that could be because I associate it with...animals, or a farm, or something.

I love this name. The first time I encountered it was as an acquaintance's middle name (Molly Blythe). It fits her very well. She's super feminine but a little hippy/hipsterish as well. I currently work with a man named Blythe and he is super masculine, but also a little hippy/hipsterish. It's kind of cool that the name is so versatile.I think Blythe and Clover work well together, and so do Blythe and Matilda.

I really like Blythe and would love to encounter it more often. I don't find it dated.Blythe and Matilda would work as sister names, but the names each give off a different vibe. Blythe is more free-spirited sounding, while Matilda is more grounded and sturdy.Clover is a bit too hippie for me, but I don't mind the sound of it.

I like Clover in a GP sort of way. I don't think I'd have the guts to name my child Clover, but it's kind of hippie-cool and I have a bit of a hippie sensibility. Blythe is lovely. I think it's tragically underused, but then I wouldn't want it popular, either. I think it works beautifully with Matilda.

I like Blythe. I don't know if I'd ever use it, but I feel like it's one of those names that kind of takes you aback for a moment- you don't expect it. I don't think it's dated because it's never been popular. Blythe and Matilda work fine as siblings, though I find Matilda a lot heavier than Blythe.Clover is cool in a GP way. I think it would take guts to use it as a first name.
