Ive often wondered with Scotland having the famous River Clyde why not many if any scots children have the name.. I cant seem to find any but did find this. and apart from the infamous Clyde Chestnut Barrow , it was a popular name in the US in the thirties. do any of you know anyone with the name...
Even though in the past Clyde may have been identified as half of the infamous outlaw duo with partner Bonnie Parker--especially after the 1967 movie in which he was played by Warren Beatty-- Clyde has always had an element of jazzy cool that could overcome all the rest. The name relates to the River Clyde that runs through the city of Glasgow. It was a Top 100 name in the US through the 1930s.
Clive Griffiths was the doomed protaganist of Theodore Dreiser's novel "An American Tragedy"--though his name was changed to George in the film. In the field of sports, basketball Hall of Famer--and later Dancing With the Stars participant-- Clyde Drexler was known as Clyde the Slide, and Walt Frazier's nickname was Clyde. Catherine Keener and Dermot Mulroney have a son named Clyde.

Well...how often do people name their kids after rivers? How many people here do you know named Mississippi or Ohio or Monongahela? How many Egyptian's are named Nile? How many Chinese are called Yangtze?
no I know that hahahah but John Waynes dad was Clyde, as was the famous robber, and it says many kids in the US in the 30s had the name... all I meant... oh and some big movie celebs son is Clyde.. look at these and not one from Scotland as far as I see. some homework was needed here ."Riviere des Ha Ha!"

I can't help but notice that a hefty percentage of the Clydes on that list played baseball (which, incidentally, puts me in mind of would-be phenom pitcher David Clyde). I wonder why that is?
oh really, I didnt know that about the book..... I just wondered why we have no Clyde christian names in Glasgow, read about how many in the US in the 30s for some reason... and now as someone has pointed out the sport most in.. now how was that... your named long before the sport you take up.. weird one....Just reading there that Clyde Tolson, FBI was Edgar Hoovers right hand man who he left everything to when he died...Im just reading about Clyde from Bonnie and Clyde notoriety.. on the list as Clyde Barrow, his middle name was Chestnut.. just thought Id throw that in ...
