Clemency

[jrt2022]

Thoughts on Clemency as a sister to Jemima, Tabitha and Reuben? Would probably use nickname Cece rather than Clem/mie, but like both!

Also, middle name ideas?

Clemency the General's daughter

Cadence isn't a name

Yes it is and imo a pretty one.

Op I don't mind Clemency. But I think you will get Clem and Clemmi as a nm. Is that a worry?

I do love Temperance but it's a big name.to carry.

How bout 'Kasia' or 'Kezia' as a sister's name to Tabitha and Jemima? Or 'Dinah Rose' or 'Asher Grace' as Reuben's sister.

Virtue names always remind me of Pratchett..

"The Carter parents were a quiet and respectable Lancre family who got into a bit of a mix-up when it came to naming their children. First, they had four daughters, who were christened Hope, Chastity, Prudence, and Charity, because naming girls after virtues is an ancient and unremarkable tradition. Then their first son was born and out of some misplaced idea about how this naming business was done he was called Anger Carter, followed later by Jealousy Carter, Bestiality Carter and Covetousness Carter. Life being what it is, Hope turned out to be a depressive, Chastity was enjoying life as a lady of negotiable affection in Ankh-Morpork, Prudence had thirteen children, and Charity expected to get a dollar’s change out of seventy-five pence–whereas the boys had grown into amiable, well-tempered men, and Bestiality Carter was, for example, very kind to animals."

Imagine embarking on freshers' week with a name like Temperance.

well it’s so funny to me that you think the word ‘Clemency’ only has meaning within the American criminal justice system 🙄

Love Constance but DH said no and Amity is cute but reminds me of the horror film 😭

@jrt2022

The context of the criminal justice system in the US is very well known. It's a very relevant context even outside of the US because the death penalty is infamous world wide.

Oh god..when I first met my now DH he had a girlfriend called Clemency and I remember thinking what a hideous name! She was also a stuck up bitch so I may be biased!

Clem just sounds urgh..there are so many beautiful baby girls names!

Clemency = death row to me
