Clement (nn Clem)

[AllieW]

Ok, so I've only just had our 2nd child (Arthur Henry) and I'm already pondering names for a third (don't worry we're thinking a 3 year gap is sensible).

Anyhow, I was thinking about slightly more unusual names and thought of this one. I do know a Clement who is only slightly older than me. I really like Clem as a nn which is what the child would be known as, I think (all supposing DH were to agree). What do folk think?

The only boy i know is Clement Atlee (Prime Minister after Churchill)

My maiden name is Clements, so i really wanted to use it as well. I was thinking Clemency or Clementine as a girls name.

I think Clem / Clemmy is a pretty NN, but my DH has vetoed it for a first name and said i can only use Clementine etc as a middle name. So I will!

Like it, but think of Clem / Clemmie as a girls name - short for Clementine.

I don't like it at all. Arthur Henry is much nicer.

Clementine is quite nice, although the pronounciation may be an issue. Is it 'Clement-een' or 'Clement - ine' (like nine)

My first crush was called Clem.

Loola - my DH has refered to them as his 'Clems' in the past! Just another Geordie saying maybe!

Like Clement though.

My brother is Clem (not short for anything but confusingly named after Clement Atlee).

You can I believe be 'fair clemmed' with cold, probably in one of the Northern counties...
