Nicknames for Clementine

That aren't Clemmy

Why not Clemmy?

What about Clem?

I had an Auntie Teenie but that only works if you pronounce the name one way over the other. What way were you intending op?

She will be Chlem. Then that will changed to Phlegm.

Kids are cruel.

She's very likely to get Clemmy as it doesn't really shorten to anything else. The only alternative would be an organic nickname such as Peanut or Jelly Bean etc that had nothing to do with her name.

If you don't want her to be called Clemmy I wouldn't use the name Clementine.

Emmy?

Lem
Leme
Eme
Menti
Enti

Tina?
Minty?

Not sure they're better than Clemmie though...

Clemmie

It’s SUCH a gorgeous name but we decided against it for a girl precisely because of Clemmie which sounds like Clammy and feels like the obvious unavoidable nickname.

Or Tina which I also really don’t like - feels a bit 70s to me.

Clemmie is definitely the default, however Clementine does lend itself to more creative nicknames such as: The Clemminator, Clembo, Tiny, Emmental, Clemsie, Clemmett, Clembatron.

Probs the nicest of those is Clemsie, although I am partial to The Clembatron (my DC get sick of me and my "creative" nicknames). Not meant in a mean way it's a pretty name by itself.

I really don't like the sound of it. I also knew a horrible Clemmy (who never went by Clementine).

Clem or Tina.

Pip?

I quite like Tiny but I'm not sure if that's a good idea

Minty

Clemmy is the very obvious one. Even if you introduce something else (and everything suggested here is a pretty big stretch) she might want to go by Clem/Clemmy later and you will have no say over it.

Satsuma
Tangerine

I think nicknames are given or are naturally created. People go for the obvious so maybe this isn't the name for you.

@BadgeronaMoped we have a Clementine who is also a Clematron
She is 3 and is pretty adamant that her name is Clementine though so not sure anyone else's nickname would stick. At home we also use Clem and Clem-Clem. Never Clemmie!

I know a Clementine, nn Minnie

If you really hate Clemmie then don’t use Clementine. Sorry.

Cleo

Darling (as in, 'O me darling, Clementine').

Don’t be ridiculous. You could find something like this to say about any name.

I think she will end up Clem/ie, OP, so if you don’t like it then I’d find something else
