Clement vs Louie

That's it really.. We both love them both. I am a bit scared to use Clement as I love it written down but am not used to saying it out loud. And much as I don't want to care what other people think, I just do. So this is a trial run. Will invariably baby-ise it to Clemmy I suppose.. And that's a bit girly.

Sigh.

I think Clem is a cool nickname, reminds me of the drummer from Blondie. Clement though is a bit of a Cecil/Cyril/Algernon type name. I couldn't do it.

I love Louis though.

Not keen on Clement and yes, Clemmy sounds like a girls name Grin

It's spelled Louis. Clement? nah, just cant warm to it at all.

I much prefer Clement - such a strong, elegant classic name! And not as overused/trendy as Louie. Great choice!

It's Louis Wink
