It’s the English name I recently chose because people kept having difficulty pronouncing my Chinese name after I arrived in England last year. I really like it, but I’d be interested to hear how it comes across to others, especially Anglophones.

    I think it’s a really good choice of name 👍

    It’s rare in England (from my experience) but we recognise all American names from TV and literature so, being slightly American, I think it comes across as a cool one while not seeming unusual.

      It definitely seems unusual in the US. I’ve never met a Cliff and was actually myself kind of guessing that it might be more common in the UK.
