My DD is 10 days old today. We have decided on Clementine as a first name but we are struggling with a middle name.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Many thanks x

Clementine Rose.

Long first name needs a short middle name, in my opinion.

I too was going to suggest Rose but someone is bound to pop up and say its too popular (not that I see the problem with that). I love Clementine too.

I like Clementine. Agree it needs a short middle name. Rose? Grace? Iris?

How many syllables is your surname?

Sorry, should've given a bit more info. Surname is 1 syllable so ideally we are looking for a short, 2 syllable middle name.

Jane, Ann and Elizabeth are out as are names beginning with A and M.

Would like an October/Autumn connection if possible not it's not essential.

Thanks x

Is that Clementine to rhyme with seen, or Clementine to rhyme with wine (like in the song)?

We are pronouncing it Clemen-TEEN rather than Clemen-TYNE.

Clementine Violet is lovely, very lyrical. My dad wanted to call me Violet but my mother wouldn't let him - no imagination!
