I’m looking for possible back-up names in case [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] keeps rising. I’m predicting it’ll be I’m the top 500 within a few years, and it’s been breaking my heart. If it doesn’t shoot up, I’ll obviously still use it, but i feel like i need back-ups just in case.
So what are your favorite names that have a [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]-y feel?
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Amandine[/name_f], [name_f]Ottiline[/name_f], [name_f]Ondine[/name_f], [name_f]Apolline[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f], juniper, iris, [name_f]Clemence[/name_f], [name_f]Clemency[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], marguerite
[name_m]Ah[/name_m], I hate it too when the popularity of my favourite names are rising.
What about [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] or [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f]? I’m saying this because I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] too, but forever torn between her and [name_f]Clemency[/name_f]. Haha.

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is lush, but even though she’s talked about all the time on nameberry, I don’t think in the real world [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] will rise in popularity she just doesn’t seem to fit in the vibe of popularity. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] doesn’t mix in with the likes of [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_u]Madison[/name_u]. She doesn’t have the fashionable sound, the go to middle name, and you can’t imagine a large group of babies from all backgrounds being called [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I don’t think it rise so don’t panic.
But here are some back up names for the darling [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]:

I totally feel the same way about [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]'s future popularity. I feel like it already seems more familiar than other names used with the same frequency. It is on my list and I’m not sure if these are your style but they are some others on my list, most of which have nature connections (they’re in order of popularity so I included the number of girls given each name in 2012):
Roseline/ [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]” (11/ 12, [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] 221)
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] “[name_f]Oly[/name_f]” (28)
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] (30)
[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] “[name_f]Maple[/name_f]” (67, [name_f]Maple[/name_f] 36)
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]” (67)
[name_f]Shoshana[/name_f] (94, Shoshanna 14)
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (204)
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] (218)
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (222)
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]/ [name_u]Francis[/name_u] (359/ 43, 427 boys)
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]” (470)
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f] (718)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (1768, peaked between 1915-1920)
I don’t think [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is ever going to be a top name, but she’s pretty well liked. When I got my kitten last winter, I asked for name feedback on Facebook. At the time, we thought Oleander was a girl, and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] were names we were considering, and they both topped everyone’s charts. [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f] got NO love, but everyone on FB was raving about [name_u]Clem[/name_u] and [name_f]Pandora[/name_f]. I mean, just nuts over those names. I was surprised. Granted, most people are a little more adventurous with a pet, but I still think [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is going to rise.
You already have a lot of good fall back options in this thread, let me see if I can think of any others.
