Is it Clemen- tyne or Clemen- teen? I think it is a pretty name written down, but unsure on pronunciation. Thanks.

Harriet I only got Clementine as a middle name for DD after it had previously been vetoed because it all went hideously wrong when I had DD. So poor Dp was so terrified and releived afterwards he relented (but not that much, it s only her middle name) He now loves it!

Tyne to rhyme with wine definitely (in England cant speak for France).

Though if you do go for this name it helps if you are intensely relaxed about how its pronounced as it can go either way my policy is not to pick people up on it.

Clemen-tyne in UK/USA. Same as the citrus fruit.

Clemen-teen in French, Clemen-teen-eh in German imo.
