[Opinions] Re: Clotworthy
It's the kind of name that if you saw it in fiction you'd tell the author "Look, this is dumb; I know it's fiction but Clotworthy Skeffington is asking too much of your readers."Clotworthy is horrible. Even for a last name it's horrible. Nickname Clot?Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

You could call him Worth. It's not great, but at least it sounds more like a real name.
