Is it Clemen- tyne or Clemen- teen? I think it is a pretty name written down, but unsure on pronunciation. Thanks.

I love this name. I would pronounce "tyne".

The oranges are Clemen-tyne so I would say the name would be too.

SIL always joked when I wanted this name 'it's pronounced S-A-T-S-U-M-A' Wink

I always read it as Clemen-teen, I think I'm in a minority though as everyone else on here and in rl seems to go with Clemen-tyne.

Clement-een if you want it French style

Clementyne.

I would say Clemen-tyne. Like the fruit. But it might be pronounced the other way when it is a name.
