Please please say I can have Clementine

[IdentifyasTired]

Hi MNers

A few years ago I posted asking whether I should name my baby Clementine. The answers were a resounding no.
I'm now back again, because I clearly can't take a hint.
So...our surname is Harrowdyne. Can I use Clementine (ending 'tyne' ) or am I once again deluding myself?
Feel free to hand me a grip if I need it.
Thanks!!

What about Clemency?

There's a lovely little road near me called Clementina Lane and it always strikes me how pretty a name it is. That's a good shout pp!

Clemency goes a lot better with your surname.

Clementine makes me think of oranges.

If I saw your surname I would pronounce it harrowdeen. Reading them together I would say clementyne harrowdeen. How are you pronouncing clementine?

Always loathed the name - will end up with Clem or Clemie- which rhymes with phlegm!!!

I know an Emmie.

Use it, you obviously love it

I love Clemency, and Clémence.

Well I love the name no one but utter idiots mentions oranges - the name predates the fruit btw and she’ll likely be Clem on day to day basis. You could rhyme every name with something unpleasant if you tried hard enough 🙄

I prefer Clemency actually. I can never deceive on -teen Or -Tyne for Clementine. I don’t think a name has to ‘go’ with a surname. My kids go to the dentist once every 6 months, that’s the only time any one calls out their whole name!

I think if you really love the name you should go for it, I know a Clementine who always gets called Clem so if you called her that for short it would go great with your surname!

I think it’s lovely.

I love it. Do it.

Ronnie Rennie how unfortunate!

OP I like the name, it sounds very eccentric but in a good way! I think you're sold on the name but as an alternative how about Florentyna Harrodine?

It sounds like a whimsical fictional character from a book, which makes me love it!

It's lovely.
Definitely a notice it and remember name. But not silly or embarrassing.

Like a character from a novel.

Or she would be someone's great love that poetry was written about.

I love it.

Clementine Harrowdyne sounds like a strong female character from a really cool kids book. A good role model for young girls. I'm not usually a fan of rhyming names but I have to say, I love it.

Please don't call her Clem though, that's too close to phlegm

Of course you can! Do whatever you want.

It’s beautiful ,it flows ,she will be beautiful like her name x

Love it! I say go for it. As PP have said, sounds like a character from a classic novel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Clementina for what it's worth

I think it sounds lovely with your surname

I really hate the name Clementine. Clem and Clemmie are terrible too. Sorry OP.

The rhyming is a bit twee but doesn’t bother me that much. The middle name we’ve chosen for DD2 rhymes with our surname as well.

Of course you can ! She will have a strong distinctive beautiful name to be proud of
