Clementine Pearl for a December baby?

[juneybabe]

Have decided on Clementine Pearl.
Made the mistake of telling people and have had one or two comments of "How seasonal!"

What do you think?
General thoughts and comments on the name would be appreciated too. We received another comment that it was fashionable at the moment too?

I know we shouldn't listen to people, but forewarned....

Don't like Pearl, hate Clementine. Sorry, it's one of those names where if I asked someone what they'd called their child and they said 'Clementine Pearl', I'd remain silent......but if you love it, then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks

theres too much of it - i think its very 'MTV cribs'

Love it. Also dont think it seasonal. Am ROFL about potential teasing because of two nouns!

I love both Clementine and Pearl and have never associated Clementine with Christmas!

love it love it love it

i love both names

Jamie - thanks.

I love it, too (am thinking of Edie Clementine for my DC2 if it's a girl ).

Saw in my name book that Cleo is an accepted nn for Clementine, which I prefer to Clem or Clemmie.

Would you pronounce 'Clemen-teen' or 'Clemen-tyne'? I'm of the 'teen' school of thought...

I would be a lot more inclined to associate pineapples with Christmas.

nooo, it must be Strawberry Cream (Quality Street) or Holly Berry or Winter Snowbunny - in fact I may know start a thread asking for best seasonal names.

i have a Clementine and she is a Christmas baby

Lots of Holly's, Carol's, Noe'ls are born around Christmas time and I think it is lovely. Clementine is a nice name and does not specifically make me think Christmas anyway. Its your baby, if you like it then go for it.

Really dislike both names, but wouldn't think of it being seasonal.

agree with thesecondcoming

Tangerine dream sounds like a shade of Dulux

I think it is a lovely name

Big thumbs up from me! Absolutely love both, I think they're beautiful names.
DC2 would have been a Clementine or a Clemency if he'd been a girl...but I've got a Rafferty instead!

Really pretty name, wouldn't associate Clementine with Christmas. My DD is Beatrice Clementine, and she was due on Boxing Day (didn't arrive til mid Jan but that's another story). Anyway, no-one has ever asked if it was a seasonal thing, have had lots of lovely comments on her name though.
