Pronounced 'Clementeen' like Winston Churchill's wife, not 'Clementyne'.

I thought it was really popular and that was putting me off, but just looked on DarkGreener and it's really not - number 256 or something which is less popular than my other children's names (except Jemima!).

Had previously liked Clemency but a lot of people said it reminded them of Death Row.

Other names on the list but unsold on - Esther, Naomi, Phoebe, Iris, Imogen.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I have a Naomi and she was the only Naomi through primary and now at secondary school.

we pronounce it as Nay-O-mi but lots of people pronounce it NI-o-mi and you will have to accept that others pronunciation might not be what you want

Apologies, but we do need to remove this in order to have a look into the background.

I quite like it but always sing "oh my darlin, oh my darlin" as df used to play it on the piano and I sang along as a child

Yes, love it. Has to be your pronunciation. It's a better choice than Clemency.

I know a lovely "Clemen"teen"

Her nn is Clemmie or Clem so if you are ok with those?

What’s the question? Really like it. I know a -tyne with sisters Elspeth and Alberta, if those are up your street? I like Clem best out of all your options.

Though I pronounce it "tyne". As long as correcting people doesn't bug you, go for it!

I love it personally!
