Iris Clementine OR Ivy Clementine???

[FingersCrossedLegsNot]

I'm getting closer to settling on a name for a future dd. So which would you prefer? TIA

[talkingnonsense]

Is it pronounced ClementINE like the song and the fruit, or clementeen like mrs Churchill? If the first I like Iris, if the second, Ivy!

[FingersCrossedLegsNot]

ClemetINE like the song!

[Mumsnut]

Clementine Iris!

Iris. Elegant, and makes me think of a 1920s bright young thing dancing the charleston. Ivy makes me think of my Mum's overweight, frumpy sister (who incidentally hates her name), and due to Beyonce it's probably going to be more popular in the wrong sort of way.

I prefer Iris as a name, but I think Ivy Clementine runs together better.

[Ham69]

Love both. Think iris may be getting quite popular if that bothers you.

[YoMamma]

I agree with tortoise - I prefer the name Iris but Ivy sounds better with Clementine.

Clementine Iris

I had a great aunt Ivy - thought it was a biddy name, is it back in fashion?

also makes me think - Mares eat oats and Does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy...

Much prefer Iris as you can buy her bunches of it each birthday yes I am that twee

Iris because I didn't much care for my Aunty Ivy and irises are prettier than ivy which clings to walls and erodes mortar :-)

I have the same dislike of ivy after spending hours removing it from our fence!

I think Iris and Clementine are both pretty.

Love Iris, quite like Ivy. Hate Clementine.
