Hi,
DH loves this name but I'm not sure whether I like it enough to use it.
Just wondering what you guys think? Do you know any? What does the name make you think of?
Be as brutally honest as you like!!
Thanks!

I like it, and Clémence
But HATE Clem/Clemmie

Clemmy is so wet. Honestly if my mother had named me that I would have changed my name at the first opportunity. Clammy and phlegmy.

Clemency is something you ask for, not a name.

Death row for me too.

llangennith · 08/09/2018 23:17

French name, Clemencé Poesy actress in Harry Potter, and The Tunnel.

Clemmie is a very 'Instamum' name...

Don't know any but it's a beautiful name. Would use it myself but DD already has an underused virtue name so feel 2 in the same family would be too much

First thought was also death row. Clemence or Clementine are nicer.

Cosmoa · 09/09/2018 20:45

Yeah death row...

moredoll · 10/09/2018 00:08

There's no death row anywhere in Europe.

Liquoricelake · 10/09/2018 00:11

There is in Belarus.

I much prefer Clementine. I think Kate Silverton's daughter is called Clemency.

You know, it's quite a pretty sounding name, but if so many negative connotations exist, I would part ways with it, however dulcet it may sound. Haha. Sorry to your DH. Assure him other beautiful names exist. 🌻☀⛅🌟⭐

I wanted to call my DD Clemency. She's 14 now, and I told her this recently, and she was utterly horrified! It made me feel a bit better about the fact that my husband overruled it. She did really like Amity though which was also rejected.
