Marianne or Clemency

[HelloFreedom]

I think I can guess which will win but...

Clemency or Marianne

Be as harsh as you like. TIA

Clementina?

I'm not too fond of Marianne, it sounds a little dated to me.

It is a tad, you could only pull it off with the he French pronouncistopn ehich may be an issue depend on where you live. Clemanthe?

Clemency is lovely.
Marianne is a bit dreary, sorry.

Both beautiful names but Marianne is one of my favourite names so I'd go for that.

Opinions are more mixed than i thought. I wish babies just came with a name tag attached...so much easier.

My trouble is the one name I love (Clementine) I can't have. Everything feels like second best. And i do agree that Marianne does sound a little too Dashwood girl wandering about in the rain.

Are you the poster who's surname ends in 'tine' so it'd be something like Clementine Bannatine (or similar)?

As you love Clementine, I think Clemency will always irritate you as your 'almost' favourite name - so close but not it. Also the meaning of Clemency would put me off and Clemmie sounds like clammy.

I vote Marianne! It's pretty without being wishy washy.

Marianne. Clemency is awful. Clementine is fine but clemency is really bad. What if she becomes a judge or anything to do with law really.

Marianne is so pretty

Yep, thats me. Although the rhyme is a little more subtle...but anyway. It's done. Clementine is out.

Really don't like Clemency.

So Marianna but I prefer PP suggestion of Marina

Sorry marianne not Marianna

Marielle as an alternative?

Clem - winner!

Marianne is lovely.

10% Marianne, very pretty.

😂😂😂 100% !

Marianne

Change your surname

Clementina would solve your issue.

I like Marianne too, but prefer Marianna.

Liney, if I could I would. Stupid, stubborn, name blocking surname that I have.

I prefer Charity to Clemency.

Love Marianne

Clementina is a no from DH as it contains too many syllables. He vetoes anything with more than 3.

Marianne. Only because Marianne Faithfull was cool.

Clemency is awful in every sense.

Marianne and Marnie for short

Personally I prefer Clemency. Marianne sounds kinda fuddy duddy to me. Also don't like the shortenings (and someone will always shorten it).
