Matilda Clementine or Clementine Florence

[ThistleWigz]

Hello!

Due a baby girl start of February and have narrowed it down to these choices. I probably wouldn’t shorten either first name day to day, but appreciate that other people might. We pronounce Clementine to rhyme with fine.

We’re based in the North East and haven’t met a child with either name. I appreciate Matilda is a lot more popular than Clementine, but this doesn’t bother me.

Would you rather be called Matilda or Clementine?

I do like both but I'm going to vote for Matilda purely because I don't like "Clemmy", which I feel Clementine could end up being shortened to.

I really like Clementine. I know loads of Matilda's under 10 which puts me off.

Clementine without a doubt.

Clementine. It is shortened to Clemmie. Both beautiful.

Clementine Florence, because Matilda is overdone now. Florence Clementine is even nicer, but I adore the name Florence (have boys so no-go)

Husband not keen on Florence as a first name unfortunately! It’s so lovely.

Matila is 100x nicer than Clementine.

Clementine Florence

Plus Matilda Clementine flows better imo.

I love clementine but feel it will be shortened to Clem or clemmy (clammy) so would go Florence clementine

Matilda Clementine by miles.

I overheard someone being called Clemmie yesterday and it is just awful (to me...personal taste yada yada)

I'm no help, I think both are lovely.

Matilda's lovely and I'd much prefer to be called that, since you ask!
Clementine would be Clemmie almost immediately. Nice enough but not nearly as good as Matilda.

Clementine Matilda. It was top of my list...but I had boys.

Matilda Clementine

I like them both but I say -teen at the end of Clementine so I'd go for Matilda.

I prefer Matilda.

I’d do Matilda Clemmency. (Don’t like Clementine became of a. The song and b. Oranges).

How would you feel about people mispronouncing Clementine (Clementeen as opposed to Clementyne)?

I came across an adult Matilda today and thought to myself how nice it was on an adult, so Matilda gets my vote. If you'd asked yesterday, I might have said Clementine, as I love that name too.

Matilda Clementine gets my vote.

Matilda
I don’t like it’s shorten I like Matilda but if it’s shorten Tilly is way better than Clemmy

I love Tilda and dislike Clemmie so Matilda Clementine.

Clementine is beautiful.

Clementine Florence. Don't like Matilda as too popular

I know more Clementines than Matildas and love the name Matilda (and Tilda) so would go with Matilda Florence.
