  1. I am Clive, I am the only Clive in Malta. Viva los Clives!!! I survived the siege of Malta in my mother.

  2. Inspired by CS Lewis, we want him to love Jesus like CS Lewis

  3. Clive means “one who dwells by the cliffs.” It is a common name in England, which is where my son was born. We love to explore, and we hope that Clive will inherit our love of the outdoors!
