Best Answer

Bass Clarinet is the correct English name. Scores often have the instrument names in other languages but clarinetto basso (Italian), clarinette basse (French) and bassklarinette (German) are pretty obvious.

On a lighter note, I once knew a follow who called his bass Clarinet Susie, and I've heard the instrument called a variety of colorful names after a particularly difficult passage.
