Clemmy is dreadful. Clammy/phlegmy. Why would you do that!

Pemba · 29/09/2018 15:36

It's a pretty name, whether pronounced Clemen-TYNE as in the song, or Clemen-TEEN. I like it.

I don't mind it but, if it bothers you, it is becoming increasingly common. I taught two in small Y2 class last year, and there are a mother 2 in EYFS this year.

One was never shortened last year, other was always called Clem. One in EYFS is called Clemmy.

DC3 could be Sultana.

KaliforniaDreamz · 29/09/2018 12:52

I LOVE IT

TorchesTorches · 29/09/2018 12:42

I like it. I know an adult Clementine and it is never shortened to Clemmie/Clem, always used in full.

daisypond · 29/09/2018 12:40

I like it, but I also don't like Clem/Clemmie. I know one who is often called Lemon for short.

polkadotpixie · 29/09/2018 12:12

I love it but hate Clem and Clemmie as nicknames which puts me off unfortunately

pixieloux · 29/09/2018 12:11

Love it but DH vetoed it straight away and kept singing “My darling, Clementine” at me lol. It’s on my guilty pleasures list because of this. I also think it’s different in style to your DC’s name... Would be a nay for me even though I love the name itself

@OmegaAntigone a G from the mothers side ...

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 29/09/2018 01:58

Reminds me of the shopaholic books. Unlike everyone else I like Clemmie. I think I actually prefer it to Clementine tbh

Picknickers · 29/09/2018 01:45

Bit fruity for me.

RedDwarves · 29/09/2018 00:44

I like it, but abhor Clemmie/Clem, so would never use it.

Sungura · 29/09/2018 00:29

Personally I would never use it. But has a fresh, sunshiny feel to it. Clem and Cleo do make cute nns as suggested by two pp.

Amyerda · 28/09/2018 23:22

I'm with alwaysonadiet

Ellieboolou27 · 28/09/2018 23:19

It should be peeled prior to eating. No from me Grin

MollyHuaCha · 28/09/2018 23:02

I like it.

madeyemoodysmum · 28/09/2018 22:52

❤️

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 28/09/2018 22:47

I love it. Dh vetoed it for dd though because he doesn't like "Oh my darling Clementine".

Fishywishyhead · 28/09/2018 22:37

Love it, nearly called my eldest daughter it but she popped a bit too serious looking.

earlybyrd · 28/09/2018 22:35

Beautiful name

ilovepixie · 28/09/2018 22:34

Love it. And could be shortened to clem

PodgeBod · 28/09/2018 22:27

Nay. Can't imagine a child with this name and does not go with Aubyn at all.

Onwithsocks · 28/09/2018 22:26

It’s a beautiful name. Classic, but not oeuvre. X

OmegaAntigone · 28/09/2018 22:22

Pieceofpurplesky was there a B around this clementine??
