Middle name for Clementine

Our DD is two and a half weeks old and we've named her Clementine.

Trouble is we can't agree on a mn. We think we've narrowed it down to the following....

Clementine Lily
Clementine Lucy
Clementine Zara

I am swaying towards Clementine Lily BUT I'm not sure if it's too fruity/flowery IYKWIM?

DH favours Clementine Zara.

Can I have some opinions on which sounds the best?

Many thanks x

Personally I would avoid the initials CZ - stands for cubic zirconia (!)

Love Clementine (do you know the Pink martini ? it's a lullaby and lovely)

Lucy is a good alternative name that's not frilly if she for some reason takes against it when she's older?

Congratulations!

I LOVE Clementine! It's on my list if this DC is a girl. Sorry to digress, do you have a nickname in mind for her or will she always be known as Clementine?

To answer your original question I like Lucy or Lily from your list (and do not think that they are too flowery!)

Good luck deciding!

Just listening to the song now champagnesupernova, it's really lovely. Clementine is in her pram next to me sleeping.

We are using the nn Emmie EvianBaby but most of the time she's Clementine. We are pronouncing it Clementeen tho rather than Clemetyne.

Thanks for the feedback....never occured to me about the initials CZ. Just can't decide between Lily and Lucy.

Clementine Lucy sounds gorgeous.

First thought before reading full post was Clementine Anna.

Clementine Lucy, I think Clementine Lily is too frilly

Clementine Lucy

But what about Clementine Aurora? It just popped into my head when I thought of Clementine so must share it!

One of my other daughters has Anne as a mn Hedwig3 but I agree that it sounds lovely with Clementine.

I really like Aurora too countless but I doubt DH would go for it.

Looks like Lucy is the most popular so far.

I love this name - have it earmarked for ourselves if we end up having two or three daughters (have name picked out for first one)
