A middle name for Clemency

35 replies

I'm not yet set on Clemency, but am interested in it, and I was wondering what middle name you would pair with it? Nickname would be Clemmie or Cece, whichever sticks. (Not after nickname opinions as obviously nicknames emerge naturally so I'm not sure which one my children would pick - and in my family it's normally the children who pick the other children's nicknames, based on what they can say or what they like!)

So far I like:
Clemency Jemima Rose
Clemency Josephine
Clemency Martha Rose

I know Rose is a filler but it's just so pretty!

Thoughts?

Clemency is pretty but a slightly fussy name, so I like you need to keep it simple - Clemency Jemima is a lot of fussy with our without the Rose. I like Clemency Josephine - and Clemency Josephine Rose is nice. Maybe a traditional family name -

Clemency Katharine Rose
Clemency Eve
Clemency Anna
Clemency Anna Rose
Clemency Mary Rose
Clemency Jane
Clemency Charlotte Anne
Clemency Anne

I don’t think you want Rose on its own because it’s so blah

Oh I love Josephine!

I like them all but Jemima my favourite. If you like Rose go for it but I’d probably leave it out to my personal taste (my middle name is rose and I love it, but i find it overused at the moment).

Went for two as our other children have two middles, and thought they might feel left out! Except for Josephine which is the length of two Grin

Clemency Rose

Keep it simple? Clemency is a name that takes up space so you don’t need two middle names?

Clemency is gorgeous BTW, I like it best with with Rose, but violet, Iris or Martha are also nice imo

I think Clemency Martha or Clemency Rose. Something quiet and simple. I think Josephine etc area bit "too much" alongside Clemency.

Agree, Clemency Josephine, or just Clemency Rose.

Clemency Emmeline
Clemency Rosalind
Clemency Violet
