Thoughts on Clemency as a sister to Jemima, Tabitha and Reuben? Would probably use nickname Cece rather than Clem/mie, but like both!

Also, middle name ideas?

I’m a MN outlier as I think clementine is awful. It is a fruit. I quite like Clemency.

It sounds ridiculous as a name in the Clemency form to me. Clemènce is more of a natural name as well as Clementine.

I really don't like Mercy or Clemency as I keep thinking of people pleading for their lives. Can't you find something else. Clementine?

Clemency is lovely, I adore virtue names.

Patience is nice too, and I know a beautiful little girl named Confidence

I always like Clémence, not quite as sure about Clemency

I like Clemency because of the religious aspect, I think Clementine loses that?And Clementine has also got very popular in my hometown lately. I know 3 under 3 which isn't loads, but also always seeing it on name boards and considering how rare it was before makes me worry it might date badly.

Clemency

🙄no

Clementine yes

Why not something ending in A
Like your other daughters

Clementine would be better due to the association with 'granting mercy'...

Letsdancedavidbowie · 11/09/2022 14:35

Clemence could be nice

Sorry makes me think of people on death row who are granted clemency! What about Clementine?
