Hi,
DH loves this name but I'm not sure whether I like it enough to use it.
Just wondering what you guys think? Do you know any? What does the name make you think of?
Be as brutally honest as you like!!
Thanks!

I like it.

daisypond · 08/09/2018 18:28

I like it a lot - but then I like virtue names generally. I think Clemency Burton-Hill too.

TatianaLarina · 08/09/2018 18:23

Very pretty, I know a Clemency and a French Clemence.

Clemency Burton-Hill is very glam.

Might ruin this for you but honestly makes me think "chlamydia" BlushBlush

I don't mind it, though I think I prefer Clementine.

I love the way it looks and sounds & I love Clemmie & Clem, but I just can't get past my very first thought when I saw the thread title, which was death row. Such a shame.

FourFriedChickensDryWhiteToast · 08/09/2018 17:45

its a good 'virtue' name but it makes me think of someone being spared death...
Faith, Hope, Charity, Constance?

Susannach · 08/09/2018 17:43

I like it but yes... death row!

margaurette · 08/09/2018 17:42

Love it. It's lovely virtue to be named after, and Clem/Clemmie is a great nn.

hungryhippie · 08/09/2018 17:40

I have never heard of it.
I looked it up and saw the nickname is Clemmie and thought it was quite cute!

There was a Clemency on telly last week on that programme where kids answer questions about their celebrity parents. Not a fan, but if you like it, go for it.

GandalfsWrinklyHat · 08/09/2018 17:32

it makes me think of death row...

Clementine?
