We have very similar tastes 3 of your names were on my shortlist. We decided on Clementine and I love it - however we had a boy!

Bella I love all of these - especially Emmeline and Clementine. Emmeline was on mine and DH's short list for ages but becase we also had it as a possible for DS before he was born we decided against as it felt like a sort of 2nd hand name IYSWIM. Shows how much we love the name though.

Clementine was a little too unconventional for my pinstripe DH but I love it - Clem and Clemmie are such lovely nicknames.

I also LOVE Clemency but when I mentioned it on a thread everyone hated it bar about 2 people which shouldn't matter of course but DH wasn't keen either.

They are all great choices.

Sylvie- v pretty, suits child and adult
Emmeline- lovely, classic. My only hesitation is that there are a lot of Emilys and Emmas around so her name may blend in more than you want.
Clementine-lovely- would you use a nn?
Nell- love it but love Penelope nn Nell even more
Mabel- different style- less feminine but I still like it.

BTW, I love Penelope as well but then I would as it is my real life name.

I only ever use it when I am trying to be posh for some reason but it's nice to have the choice. Nell isn't my usual nn but I do think it's lovely.

That's nice that you like yr name wasabi, I don't like mine at all!

Are you Penny then - that's a good name actually, nice for a little one then lots of optiosn when older. Also not too popular.

Hello Clary yes I am a Penny, well, a Pen more often than not.

I hated my name when I was a kid but as an adult decided that actually it was ok.
