Clement

What do you think of [name]Clement[/name]?
What middle name would you suggest?

Thanks!

Edit: I decided to play around with a few combos for Clement. These are what I have so far:

Clement Arlo
Clement Avery
Clement Boyd
Clement Forest / Forrest
Clement Foster
Clement Hawthorne
Clement Hugo
Clement Julian
Clement Lark
Clement Lewis
Clement Noel
Clement Quincy

I particularly like Clement Forrest. Think there are any keepers?

I love [name]Clement[/name]! The French pronunciation is prettier ([name]Clay[/name]-mont with a very soft ‘t’, essentially) but I like the English pronunciation too. I think of your combos, [name]Clement[/name] [name]Arlo[/name] and [name]Clement[/name] [name]Hawthorne[/name] are my favorites. :slight_smile:

I really like it. [name]Clement[/name] isn’t even on most people’s radars, which is a shame. I love the meaning, and I love the stately feel it has to it. [name]Clement[/name] would be a great choice.

I like [name]Clement[/name] [name]Avery[/name], [name]Clement[/name] [name]Julian[/name], and [name]Clement[/name] [name]Hugo[/name].

I love it, too. I wish I could use it, personally. It’s such a dignified and peaceful name, with a wonderful meaning. The world doesn’t have enough mercy.

Interesting name, I just repeated it a few times out loud and it rapidly takes a hold. The meaning is amazing. I like it with a vowel starting middle, [name]Arlo[/name] and [name]Avery[/name] sound great with it.

If I lived in a French speaking region I’d have absolutely no qualms about naming a son Clément-[name]Louis[/name], I adore the name. My dream French sibset is [name]Eulalie[/name], Béatrice et Clément-[name]Louis[/name]. It’s just not the same in English… :frowning:

Thank you!

I like that he’s still flying below the radar even with the increasing popularity of [name]Clementine[/name].

Thank you.

Agreed!

The meaning is what drew me in originally. It does sound nice with a vowel starting middle. Thank you for pointing that out.

I am a huge fan. It’s a top 5 name for us, should this baby be a boy.

Something really very spooky, though… I have a daughter with the exact same name combo as one listed in your signature!

Really?! That’s an interesting coincidence. I guess we just have good taste in names.

Indeed! :wink:

I’m interested to know if you would use the French or English pronunciation of [name]Clement[/name]… something I’m still undecided on as we live outside of [name]France[/name].

I adore the French pronunciation, prefer it even, but I don’t think it works as well in English.

I tend to agree. I think we would choose the English pronunciation… especially because we went the same way with our daughters name. Then I guess when in [name]France[/name]… make the switch!

That’s what I would do!
