My favourite name for a girl during my first pregnancy was [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I still am madly in love with the name and really want to use it if we have another girl, but are [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] too much together?
I had never heard of the fruit connection until I first researched the name years ago, and I have never really heard it mentioned in conversation, but Iām sure most people are aware of the fruit connectionā¦
I think [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] would be a really cute sibset. I donāt see the food association when I look at these names, I just look at them and think that theyāre beautiful names. Some people would definitely think of the food right off the bat, but that wouldnāt bother me too much if I loved the name. [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] are much less obvious than [name_f]Apple[/name_f] or Pear lol
I think of the fruit connection⦠However, I actually like them together. To me they are perfectly paired as siblings because of their style and not because of the association.
Itās very wordy to me and I definitely caught the fruit association⦠my first thoughts with [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Olive[/name_f] have always been food though. Itās by no means a terrible set but itās not my favorite.
Itās feels very wordy and very theme-y. I would expect a third sister to be called [name_f]Plum[/name_f] and I wouldnāt be surprised if people (not just children) made rude comments and ājokesā about them both having food names. I think for most people who are not name nerds, they wonāt see these as vintage names but rather just as words.
Thank you all for your replies! I think [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] are wonderful together, but my first association with them has always been as a name and not a fruitā¦I think those that have pointed out the fact that non-name nerds will probably see the fruit connection First is what Iām worried about. I usually donāt worry about what people think, so Iām considering still using [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] if it is the right name at Birth despite the potential comments, but Iām really not sureā¦
They definitely make me think of the fruit, but that isnāt necessarily a bad thing. I know sisters [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], and they clearly are all flowers, but so what?
Iām confused by this thread. Fruit connection?
ā Well I didnāt know olives were fruit but I guess thatās what they must be lol. FOOD connection on the other hand⦠Yes [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] clearly stand out as foods (I am from the US) and someone surely will make a joke at some point about a third baby needing to be named some other kind of food. But itās not unusable and I know several families in real life with apparently themed kids names similar to that. Go ahead and use it if you love that name and donāt mind many people thinking aww cute food sibs.
I donāt think itās too much. Itās similar to naming daughters [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f], or [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].
