Clementine

[user1486384482]

What do you think of the name Clementine? (Pronounced "Tyne" and nicknamed Emmie).

[Pipilangstrumpf]

Why call her Emmie but name her Clementine ?

Personally I would choose a name you love (e.g. Emma, Emily, Emilia or Emme) and let possible nicknames evolve naturally.

[reuset]

It's a fine name, OP. But they always end up as Clemmie or Clem in my experience

[ILoveMyMonkey]

Emmie is a real name, why not just use that?

The name Emmie is of German origin, and is used mostly in English speaking countries but also in a few other countries and languages of the world.

[ReggaeShark]

Nope.

[RedSauce]

I love Clementine! But I don't like Emmie.

[EggsEleven]

I like Clementine but not Emmie.

[Pipilangstrumpf]

They're such different names. Clementine/Clemmie vs Emmie/Emily.

[Batteriesallgone]

Love it. And love long names with nicknames.

DH has vetoed it because it's a fruit :(

[PaintingOwls]

Like the name, not convinced by the nn.

[Etihad]

If you really want that nn could you call her Emmeline?

[MuseumOfCurry]

I absolutely love Clementine. My kids' NNs have nothing to do with their names, incidentally.

When I first read the name I thought it was a gorgeous and unusual name, before my brain kicked in with the song, and your daughter growing up with it. My name was unusual growing up and had ppl shout a certain phrase after me, thinking they were very clever.

My DD is called Clementine.
I was reading the letters of Winston and Clementine Churchill when I fell pregnant and I knew immediately it was her name. I still adore it.
She gets called Clemmie by her friends-I do think Emmie is a very sweet but less obvious NN-will it make you crazy if she is called Clemmie? as I suspect she will be
If you definitely want Emmie then Emmeline is lovely and NN Emmie??
But at the end of the day names are very personal and you pick what you love for your DD.
Clementine definitely stood the test of time for us-name fads go in and out-and lots of opinions so go with what you want.

Lovely ! 😀

[Sophronia]

Very nice!

Love Emmie. Not so keen on clementine. Why not Emma, Emilia, or Emily etc. If you want the nickname?

[Jooni]

I like Clementine but I agree that she will likely get called Clem/Clemmie, at least sometimes. If you hate those nicknames I'd avoid, otherwise go with it and by all means try to get people to use Emmie if that's the nn you prefer.

This ^^

[MiniMaxi]

I like Clementine but why not Clemmie as nn?

[GreatScot8]

I like Emmie (prefer the spelling Emmy), but not Clementine, and also agree with others that she'll get Clem/Clemmie rather than Emmie.

[DramaAlpaca]

Clementine is gorgeous, but it's probably a bit of a stretch to get Emmie as a nickname. As others have said, she'll get Clemmie or Clem - both of which are nice too.

[mainlywingingit]

Have you considered Clemency? V pretty I think

[mainlywingingit]

And the Emmie/ Emy think fits

[Katietwinmum]

I'm 30 and so remember Marc Owen of Take That fame had a solo single Clementine. If you can listen to that and still like the name go for it! It's a sweet name but obviously small oranges or his not so dulcet tones spring to mind for me..

[ghostspirit]

My cus name is clementine. She gets called cleme
