About Cloud
Like Sky and Sunshine, this fluffy name from the hippie 1970s has floated back onto the naming radar. It's similarity of Clyde and Claude help to ground it.
Cloud for girls
This kind of plainspoken nature name (think River and Sunshine) may still carry a whiff of the hippie, but this one has a nice, airy feel. It's slight similarity to Claude and Clyde helps to ground it.
Pronounced KLOWD.
As of October 2026, Cloud ranked #3095 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2502 in 1924.
