Oh please MN...please can I use this name?

[HelloFreedom]

Clementine. NN Clemmie. I love it. This will be last baby (4th) so Iast chance for this.

Trouble is, it has the same number of syllables as our last name. And the last syllables rhyme.

So think 'Clementine Hannodyne' (not our real surname but a close approximation).

So can I? Pretty please?

Honest opinions very much wanted. Be as brutal as you want.

Have you rejected Clemency?

My cousin has a little girl called Clementine nn Clemmie. At first I was a bit but now I love it.

Constance?
Faith?
Mary?

Monica?

DH really not keen on Clemency or Constance. Mary already been used.

I'm not keen on Monica. Faith is a no.

Clemency is horrible, dh is right 😁

@HelloFreedom what are your other children's names?

Mary, Rose and Evangeline.

Love it. My name that got away. DH refused. However, I do love DDs name now too - and the funny thing is DD HATES oranges now. Can't be near the smell of anything orange.

Grace
Hope

Cressida
Cecily

I love those too.

Cecilia

I love the name but agree that you should listen to posters with experience of rhyming names.

Cecelia
Camilla
Lydia??

Cecilia is on the maybe list. Again. DH not that keen.

This time it's going to be tricky choosing. We've used all our favourites. Middles names of others are Martha, Jane, Helene and Emma,

Augusta
Claudia
Marguerite
Priscilla
Martha
Seraphina
Veronica
Ada
Julia

They’re all names of Catholic saints.

I'm confused - you have an Evangeline - is that not the same problem with Harrodine as Clementine?
(And now I feel like I'm writing a limerick or something.)

Think absolutely fine-
I actually like the way the names go together.
My DD is Clementine-she is 16 and I still love it every time I say it.
She goes by Clemmie as well-and hates Clemen-teen.
There won't be that many times that they are said about loud together if she goes by clemmie so I wouldn't miss using the name you love-
It seems like you really want it-do it and no regrets!!!

I've been trawling lists and lists. Clementine felt like it.

I may try to wrap my head around Clemen'teen'...she would still be Clemmie.

Voting for Clemence

Evangeline has an 'een' sound on the end. Not 'ine'.

do it and no regrets

It's not the OP who has to live with any regrets.

said out loud. not about loud!

Although thinking about it, Evageline and Clementeen rhyme!

Oh bollocks.

The Evangeline I know is 'ine' ending. But she's in Ireland, maybe that's why.

You can say either.
