Fn Clemencia to honour grandad Klemens. WDYT?

[name_m]Just[/name_m] came across the female name [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] (cluh-MEN-see-ah) and I really like the look and sound of it. However, the nameberry description of it does not read so favourably insinuating that it’s a very dated and unfashionalble name. I also like it for another reason, my late grandad (a wonderful man) was called [name_m]Klemens[/name_m]. What do you think of the name? Isit too stuffy?

[name_m]How[/name_m] about these combos:
[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]

Any other suggestions?

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! I love [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f]!!! [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is popular on Nameberry, it appears. But I like [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] much better. Go for it!

[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous. All your middle names are equally lovely, but if you’re worried about it being stuffy then [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] in the middle brightens it up a little bit. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] are both brilliant though, you can’t really go wrong.

Ignore the Nameberry descriptions all together; they’re supposed to be written in some sort of colloquial tone, but they just read as rude and overly biased for a name website.

Geeze, those Nameberry descriptions can get awful snarky sometimes… lol. [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] isn’t really my style, but I still think it’s really cool, and nice way to honor your granddad. :slight_smile: I don’t really think it’s stuffy. If I met a little [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f], that wouldn’t be what my first thought. My first thought would be, “Wow! Wonder what the story behind that one is.” Congrats, and good luck! xx :slight_smile:

I am a huge fan of this name (and [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]), it’s on my list, so I’ll be biased and say this is one of the loveliest names ever. :slight_smile: I love [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] from your list, so light and beautiful.

Thanks for all your comments. I really love the name. Problem is, my husband objects. According to him the name sounds like an illness. :frowning:

[name_f]Do[/name_f] any of you think of sickness when hearing [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f]? Would it be different if it was pronounced cle-men-SEE-ah instead of cle-MEN-see-ah?

Maybe it could be pronounced cle-MEN-sah?

Or maybe a different spelling: [name_f]Clementia[/name_f] or [name_f]Clemenza[/name_f]?

Which spelling/pronunciation do you prefer?

Which sickness/disease?

Well, I love [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] and among all its variants, I only want to avoid [name_f]Clementia[/name_f] spelling. Try to change the ‘Cl’ with a ‘D’, you know what I mean.

:confused:

…oh!

:smiley:

It does sound a bit like an illness - dementia or chlamydia. Try [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] or [name_f]Clemence[/name_f] instead.

I adore [name_f]Clemency[/name_f], and [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] is nice. I like [name_f]Clemence[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] too, but [name_f]Clemency[/name_f]'s my favorite.

I like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] better (clemencia-chlamydia is too close for comfort), also because of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Winslet[/name_f] in the “the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”, whose character is named [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I think it’s blooming lovely, and more so in your case, as it has personal meaning to you.

I love the combo of [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f].

[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is great!
[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] is a lovely way to honour a [name_m]Klemens[/name_m], I think this works really well :slight_smile:

Whilst I do prefer [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] myself [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] is also very lovely. I like [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] best of your combos. I don’t like [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] because of the two close S sounds.
