One of my sisters is named Clementina. I think it's a pretty name.

I love Clementina! It's very staid and grounded to me.

Clementina is just a little bit too long and clunky. It is very likely that people will shorten it to Tina or Clemmie. Clementine sounds much nicer to me and rolls off the tongue. It is less likely to get shortened to the dated Tina or the, in my opinion, rather unattractive Clem or Clemmie. I actually know a woman with this name, she was born in the 1930s and always called Tina.

I prefer Clementina to Clementine. Not a fan of the nickname Clemmie; Clementina lends itself quite nicely to Tina.

Clementine makes me think of the little oranges, so I prefer Clementina.
