My brother's name is Cliff which is short for Clifton, only heard good things said by others about his name.

I think this is a great name. I like nature inspired names, and this name also has a certain old fashioned charm to it. I like Cliff on its own.

I like it and I can see it wearing well. I don't think I could ever saddle the name Clifford on a baby but I really like its nickname.

I like Cliff and Clifford, but not Cliff as a nickname for Clifford. Is that weird?
