Tell me my kids names u going to be that bad.

[jonita2]

Im having twins, two girls and were thinking Clementine Catherine and Olive Odette. We like the matching fruit names, and Odette and Clementine both have French origin. Are they okay names?

*Typo in the post. I meant Tell me my kids names arent going to be that bad

You'll just get clem or clemmie and olly or liv so long as you're prepared for them to be shortened by absolutely everyone the thats fine

Catherine Odette sounds good makes me think of a superstar actress its very elegant

My 8 year old daughter is called Catherine.

You just can’t go wrong with this name.

Katherine spelt with a K is my middle name

And ‘Clementine’ by Mark Owen of Take That!

I think its for Clemmie, not Clementine.

Clemmie does sound like Clammy. And Odette does sound a little bit like a good brand name for a bathroom deodoriser spray. But I think it's ok.

If you like the French feel, what about Manon op? I think Clementine and Manon sound nice together.

Olive is such an ugly name

Hahaha this is spot on

The fruit connection could cause problems.
Mandarins are delicious to children but Olives, not so much.

Clementine Catherine and..

Cherry Chelsea
Blueberry Bramble
Strawberry Sue
Lychee Leonor
Melony Maude
Grape Genevieve
Anjou Alanna
Melina May
Mirabelle Mietta
Figgy Fiona

The name Clementine far predates the fruit. The fruit was named after a man called Clement.

Oh I don’t think they’re too matchy at all.

Like most people, I hate twin names which are clearly a matching pair, but yours aren’t. Obviously the names aren’t wildly different in terms of style, but that’s because you’re picking names you like.

All the Clementines I’ve ever known have been Clemmie (which I love). Clemmie and Olive sound perfectly nice together and separately.
