Iris Clementine is lovely

Ivy.

But only because I always find names that end with an S to be a little harsh-sounding. As well as being a bit unfortunate if little Iris or her friends have a lisp.

I love Clementine or Clementina.

Hate Ivy and Iris, both harsh names

Ivy Clementine - I love the names Ivy and Iris, but choosing Ivy was a visual thing for me. Green ivy looks much better next to an orange clementine than a purple iris!

Ivy with Clementine very Christmassy.
Think Iris more unusual if that's important to you.

Hadn't thought about the Christmassy connections of Clementine....is it bad that it makes me like it more for my December due date ??

Iris Clementine. Iris is so much prettier than Ivy.

I prefer Iris I think - Clementine is a lovely name though, I'd be tempted to put it first.

Ivy!

Iris is quite chic and it works well in a lot of languages.

Ivy in away due a revival with all the name ending in 'ee' sounds. It's just a bit harsh, maybe it's the poison Ivy connection.

Love both, but Ivy gets my vote

It had occurred to me that Ivy Clementine was quite Christmassy....though I quite like that actually! Blush

Also Iris Clementine sounds like I Risk Clementine

Ivy. Definitely. Iris is too new-agey to go with Clementine IMO. (Iris always makes me think of Isis!)
