No I don't. but this from thinkbabynames~

 

Cloyce is an uncommon first name for men. Cloyce is an equally rare last name for all people. (2000 U.S. Demographics)

Cloyce entered the list in 1910-1919 and reached its top rank of #1520 in the U.S. during 1930-1939, but is not ranked currently. (2015 U.S. SSA Records)

My mom had a cousin named Cloyce. He was born in the late 1800s and was a great guy.

Famous person here in DFW named Cloyce Box. At one time owned a HUUUUUGE ranch that was the original setting for the TV series "Dallas." He got fed up with the filming and told Hollywood to leave the property, so you only see the exteriors during the first season.

 

His son just wrote a book about him.

The only time I can recall hearing that name - first name - is on the TV cooking show Man vs. Child.

 

One of the "child" chefs is named Cloyce Martin

Yes! I had to look twice at the topic to be sure!  My dad's best friend for over 40 years is named Clois.  That is how he spells it.  He shares the name with his father.  They are of Norwegian descent, so maybe that is why the different spelling?  I have often wondered about the name as I had never heard it before.
