Reminds me of the shopaholic books. Unlike everyone else I like Clemmie. I think I actually prefer it to Clementine tbh

@OmegaAntigone a G from the mothers side ...

Love it but DH vetoed it straight away and kept singing “My darling, Clementine” at me lol. It’s on my guilty pleasures list because of this. I also think it’s different in style to your DC’s name... Would be a nay for me even though I love the name itself

I love it but hate Clem and Clemmie as nicknames which puts me off unfortunately

I like it, but I also don't like Clem/Clemmie. I know one who is often called Lemon for short.

I like it. I know an adult Clementine and it is never shortened to Clemmie/Clem, always used in full.

I LOVE IT

DC3 could be Sultana.

I don't mind it but, if it bothers you, it is becoming increasingly common. I taught two in small Y2 class last year, and there are a mother 2 in EYFS this year.

One was never shortened last year, other was always called Clem. One in EYFS is called Clemmy.

It's a pretty name, whether pronounced Clemen-TYNE as in the song, or Clemen-TEEN. I like it.

Clemmy is dreadful. Clammy/phlegmy. Why would you do that!
