I still really like Clemency - yes I know everyone hates it?

i love Raphaëlle because it’s one of my favourite characters and I love Raph as a nickname

but was watching a Danish film ans the heroine was Vigga and I really liked it

Calista DH is keen on still
Sigrun he also likes

Viagra?

ZippyLilacStork · 28/11/2024 18:49

Vigga sounds like a pushchair.
Raphaëlle is nicest from your post.

BettyBardMacDonald · 28/11/2024 18:50

Yes.

Clemency is beautiful and Raphaëlle is very pretty (although I'd be tempted to drop the accent so your daughter doesn't spend her life correcting people on it).

Is either of you at all Scandinavian?

Viagra?

Was my first thought

FloofPaws · 28/11/2024 18:53

Vigga would be good if you live in Scandinavia- doesn't really work in the UK, also sounds like viagra

CheshireCats · 28/11/2024 18:54

Calista is the only one that is bearable.

bengalcat · 28/11/2024 18:55

Viagra was my first thought too ( ah mind of the gutter bengalcat )

hiddenselkie · 28/11/2024 18:55

I like Sigrun and Calista the best

Is Sigrid or Callista an option Callisto means most beautiful in ancient Greek. Maybe Saga or Signy?

So you know what clemency means and still want to use it?

Vigga sounds like viagra.

Viagra?

Also my first thought.

Oreyt · 28/11/2024 18:57

I read it as Viagra when I first saw the thread title.

PiggieWig · 28/11/2024 18:58

When you say Raphaelle is your favourite character, are we talking Ninja Turtles?

TomatoSandwiches · 28/11/2024 18:59

Please don't name your baby Vigga.

BabyFever246 · 28/11/2024 19:01

Vigga will be called viagra.
Viggo would be better, but maybe that's just because my mind goes to Viggo Mortensen

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 28/11/2024 19:02

It sounds either like Viagra or an awful racist word. For the love of God don't give your child any of these awful names.
What's wrong with normal names?!

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 28/11/2024 19:03

Calista is the only nice name out of those

Bristolnewcomer · 28/11/2024 19:03

Vigga just sounds like “vigour”, which isn’t bad but is a hit of a weird name. I like Clemency I think that’s beautiful and I know what it means.

2110l · 28/11/2024 19:04

Make sure that you give your child a name that won’t embarrass them. I went to university with someone with a very odd name and she was given a book of baby names as a prize at some student do.

Jane159 · 28/11/2024 19:04

Vigga is awful. The definition of Clemency is 'lenience when given a punishment' and makes me think of jail. The male version of Raphaelle is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it's only really used as a male name here. Sigrun is really ugly. Definitely don't call her Viggo it's a male name meaning war!

Stick with Calista. It's actually nice. Or are you deliberately trying to find the most disliked name in existence to give your child?

JC03745 · 28/11/2024 19:05

I wrongly assumed Vigga was a boys name. Not a fan myself.
Calista is ok.
I worked with a Raphaella. Not sure if that is the spelling. She was Italian.

CarrotPencil · 28/11/2024 19:07

Wow it’s very different vibe to Clemency!!

My first thought was another word ending in -igga sadly! Really don’t think you can do that.

Raphaelle is nice and interesting and cool.

Topseyt123 · 28/11/2024 19:11

Knowing the meaning of Clemency, I wouldn't use it. Clementine instead?

Vigga is just ludicrous. Sounds like Viagra as others have said.

Sigrun isn't bad, nor Callista. Raphaella too perhaps. None to my taste though.

I think you are trying to be a bit too "out there." Sorry.

Solasum · 28/11/2024 19:13

Does It sound like ‘Vigour’ ?

Helpimfalling · 28/11/2024 19:14

Vagina
Viagra

Sigrun is also awful.

The others are lovely
