Love Clementine, would use myself.

Would shorten to Clem.

I know a lovely Clem (in 50s). Clemmy sweet for when younger.

I know 2 Clementines - one is Clemmie, one is Clem. Both lovely.

My DH must go against the grain. I suggested it he loved it (he had been reading jeeves and wooster books and its that sort of name). So we went for it. Shes currently 10 weeks old.

Must say reactions to the name vary from effusive delight "I love it love it" to "hmm unusual" and silence. Find ourselves naturally saying Clem which I think is pretty (despite the northern dialetc starvation thing lucky we are southerners!) Dont think Clem is too outrageous its abit like a combination of Claire and Emma both very mainstream names.

Clee is a nice nickname.

Clementine is lovely but I don't like Clem or Clemmy either. Emmi or Cleo are nice but she is bound to be called Clemmy at school!

Emmy will probably be popular as Jennifer Lopez's daughter is called that
