Nicknames for Clementine - are they too awful?

[Astrophe]

Love Clementine, but not sure what it will get shortened to ad if I can live with it! Clemmy...?

I liked Clementine when I was preg with dd2 but got laughed at by DH

Clem, Clemmy, Tine, Tina, Menty?... can't think of anymore. I think it's most likely to be Clemmy which has a nice ring to it I think.

Love Clem. DH has vetoed it though if we have another DD

clemmie is lovely, i think. it's a gorgeous name.

Clammy Clemmy as a nickname?

Why don't men like Clementine?

Clem the phlem?

I can rip any name apart, me!

I think Clemmy is OK - not as nice as Clementine, but hey.

Hmmm, glad you seem to think Clemmie is ok, as I suspect thats what she'd get.

I'm still not sure, but am working hard to convince DH (what is it with men?) and need to make sure I actually want the name first!

it s my fave name for a girl at the mo but partner is convinced she d get clems which is slang for balls!!

Men don't like Clementine because "Clem" is a well used nickname for a fanjo. - Care of DP.

I know an absolutely gorgeous toddler called Clemmie, she is lovely.
Because of that, I love the name , I confess I wasn't keen when her Mother told me her name when she was newborn, but it suits her so well and this little girl is so lovely that now I love it.

My friend is called Clementine and shortens it to Cleo

I have a friend called Clementine and she is often known as Clemmie. I always call her Clementine, I think it is LOVELY.

(She is ClemenTEEN not ClemenTINE she always made clear!)

Clem = fanjo?? Must ask dh.

Clemmie is awful but Clem is a lovely name

Blueshoes - is you DH an expert on alternative words for fanjos or something?

Happily, my DH has not heard either slang (balls or fanjo).

its not so much the nicknames that come to mind but the song oh my darlinn oh my darlinn oh my darlinn clemmentineeeee.

however i think its a really sweet name all kids have nicknames at some point and its usually when there quite young i doubt many children will think of clem as a fanjo or balls or whatever it is lol xxxxxxxxxx

Mimi? Tiny?

Nicknames don't necessarily have to come directly from the first name though. Our DCs have loads of names that are nothing to do with their first names.

Clementine is a fabulous name.

Clem is like that noise you make when you've got a bit of a tickly cough but it's not bad enough to make you want to full on hack your lungs out. Clem. A-clem-clem. Clem-clem-clem-clem-clem.

(Sorry, have had a glass of wine.)

I think that Clementine is ok as a name but I really dislike Clemmie and that's certainly the most obvious nn.

Cleo is better as a nn if you could make it stick iyswim but then I'd be inclined to use that rather than Clementine in the first place.

emmi,me me

Clemmy is only logical shortening

knowing me i would do Clems
