Not to mention a few HUNDRED (or even thousand?) "Rainbow"s, "Sparkles", 
"Deedee"s, "Buttons", "Pockets", "Happy"s, "Tootie"s, "Bubbles", etc...

So, in other words, if you're looking for suggestions for a clown name, and 
someone suggests something that sounds cute right away, with little thought 
or effort... don't even consider it, because chances are, a hundred other 
people have thought of it too.  Take your time, develope a character, and 
think of something ORIGINAL and UNIQUE.  It not only keeps people from 
confusing you with a dozen other clowns in your neighborhood with the same 
name, it just generally makes you sound more like a professional by virtue 
of the uniqueness of your "performance" name.
