[name_m]Hi[/name_m], our little girl has arrived and my favourite name pre-birth was [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. Now I’m not so sure! Here’s my current shortlist- I’m looking for something uncommon but not unusual! Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!
My favorites are [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f]. [name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is a charming, beautiful combo.
I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]! That’s my favorite from your list! Having a baby is so emotional and your hormones can be all over the place, I’d stick with your gut and the decision you made when life was (slightly) calmer. Of course, if you looked at your baby and just got a strong sense of “she’s not clementine”, then you may be right to consider other names you love. For me, my kids just looked like babies when they were born–blank slate. No name seemed right or wrong, so I just went with what I loved most.
What do you think is making you hesitate on the name now? What does your SO/closest friend think?
I think [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is nice if it fits her. It has grown on me after seeing it on [name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_m]Churchill[/name_m]'s wife in The Crown. My personal favorite from your list is [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. I think it’s cute and classic and not overused. I like [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Camilla[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_u]Marley[/name_u] you could always switch to [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] if you want something with more flourish.
Which one does she look and seem like? It’s pretty hard to help without knowing her!
Purely as names I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], like [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] and [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], think [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is cute for a nickname, consider [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] male names, and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sounds to me like someone living in rural poverty.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] feels fresh, modern, old-fashioned, spunky all in one.
