How would you pronounce Clementine?

[BotBotticelli]

Clemen-teen or Clemen-tyne?

I think it looks lovely written down but I only really like the 'teen' pronunciation....

Clem-on-teen, instinctively, I'm aware that there are different pronunciations though so would probably ask. I sing Clementyne, though.

Tyne!

Would be tyne for me. I would think that's more common too so she might (erroneously if you pick teen) get that for most of her life...

I'd say Clementine. I'd also pronounce the fruit that way. Lovely name!

Clement-een like Christine or Delphine. Also call the fruit this.

Clemen-tyne sounds very American to my ears.

Teen.

As a name, to rhyme with mine.

Tyne

thats my cousins name we say it cleme-tyne

but its been shortend to cleme

What about Clemency? I think that's beautiful too and no pronunciation issues.

Teen.

I absolutely love it.

We say TYNE for our daughters middle name. She's Pippa Clementine

I'd say Tyne, being in the North East it's to be expected

I love this name and would pronounce it ClemenTYNE

Tyne for me.

How about Clemence?

Lovely. Makes me think of "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Which is one of my favourite films, although the character isn't particularly likeable.

I think I'd say "Clemen-teen"

Teen

Tyne = American English pronunciation
Teen = British English pronunciation.

Teen is much prettier I think

Tyne. I'm surprised so many people are saying teen. I've never heard it called that way before.

Tyne

Tyne. The only one I know is aka Clemmie, and behind her back, Clammie

I say Tyne. I've met a baby Clementine before and forgot her mother used the 'teen' pronunciation. A few times I've bumped into her and said hello to Clementyne only to be corrected (which is fine but I'm not sure I could be arsed!)

If you're using 'teen' then you need to go the whole hog and pronounce it clem- on -teen, like my French grandmother does. Otherwise you can sound like a twit.
I know one person with a three or four year old Clementine who pronounces it clem- en -teen, in a broad northern accent, and it sounds awful.

How then do you pronounce Caroline, bigblue? Using that logic Do you also pronounce the European way.

I'm surprised so many people are saying teen. I've never heard it called that way before.

I have, just not in the UK. That bit does surprise me, I agree. And then, with my European relations, it is clem on teen, not clem en teen
