Clementine or Lucinda

[LuciaRose]

Please can you tell me which you prefer out of these two names on my shortlist? Which one is more common and what do these names make you think of?

Not keen on Lucinda.

Clementine is very unusual and pretty.

Both are gorgeous, a tough choice! mmm, nope can't decide, sorry!

OK, try again, I prefer Clementine in total I think but Lucinda has better nn's - Lucy, Cindy, Lindy. I don't like Clem or Clemmy so much.

Definitely Clementine. Very pretty.

Clementine- love it.
Lucinda I think has to be very ethereal and fairy like. I am unlikely ever to produce such a child so would go with the other option.

Also Lucinda might get shortened to the dreadfully wet Lucy.

cleo is a great nickname for clementine

clementine

love it

I like both

Love Clementine. It's on my list if this baby is a girl.

I love Clementine! I'm sure I could never convince my OH, but I think it's gorgeous.

I even think it sounds nice shortened to Clem as well, despite the fact it rhymes with phlegm...

I like both. Think Clementine is the most popular though.

I love Lucinda - very grown up and elegant.
Clementine is ok, but very faddy - I never met one in 30 odd years and now i know 4 under 5 (SE England).
The only Lucinda i Know is a grown woman - I love Lucinda!

Do you think Lucinda will come back into fashion - or is there a good reason why it isn't more popular?

Perhaps Clementine is faddy - I have to admit, it's only been in recent years that I keep hearing it. Do love it though.

Thanks!

I love Lucinda, I think Clementine is much more popular atm and will be much more dated when she is grown up

OP, I prefer your MN name though!

Clementine is very now, which is why it's moved down my list a bit, although I do like Clem as a nn. Some ppl think of the fruit but imo it is very pretty.

Lucinda has lisping girls on fat ponies associations BUT it is much less used and will probably stand the test of time better.

Clementine :0)

Lucinda much more unusual clemmie too now

Clementine - i really like

Lucinda is my sister's name, she has always disliked it and just called herself Lucy.

Lucinda is lovely (I am a Lucy and always wished I had been a Lucinda).

Clementine is lovely but I would use Clemency instead, personally. It's just a tiny bit more unusual and prettier and it has a nicer meaning. Clementine says Satsuma to me, sorry.

Clementine out of the two

Lucinda's horrid think its a v harsh name

sorry currently laughing at helenwombats description of Clemmie

I like Clementine a lot.
Prefer Lucy to Lucinda, although I don't dislike it.

I very much like Lucinda (nn=Lucy).

There's a very corny traditional American song 'My darling Clementine' -- totally puts me off. And what's the NN? Clemmy? Like Clammy? Or is she named after the orange? Just don't go there (imho).

I prefer Clementine - a very pretty name.
