Clemency, yes, no, maybe?

I really like Clemency. I feel it is a positive , happy name and a feisty one. I really like Clemmie as a nickname but when I mentioned it to a friend she was really down on it.

i had a French friend at uni who was called Clémence which I thought at the time sounded so sophisticated but again very negative reaction from family

Clementine can also be shortened to Clemmie and is much prettier. Clemency doesn't sound like a name to me.

My thought exactly. Or is baby daddy (dastardly term) hoping to win clemency so baby is named in "honour" of such an upcoming auspicious occasion?

Clementine? Churchill’s wife was Clementine/Clemmie. Agree clemency makes me think of commuting a death sentence.

It's a legal term - strange choice for a name in my opinion

Not keen personally

Just no

I like it, but Clem just makes me think of Clem from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a Looseskin Demon. He is very kind but...
