I think Clementine is lovely. It's sweet and delicate. It has a couple of different vibes: it can be a Chic French Mademoiselle or a Southern Belle. An extra bonus is its meaning of "merciful, mild or gentle". I like the little tangerines 🍊 so the fruit association doesn't faze me.

I think it's lovely. I know some people only associate it with the fruit (though it's named after a person) and it hasn't been completely normalized as a name where I live, though it's gaining popularity.

Hmm ... pity about the fruit, and the song. I've only known one, and her parents used the Clementene spelling to clarify their pronunciation of choice and to avoid fruity and musical connections. She's always called Clemmie, which is understandable; I'm glad she's got Clementene to use on special occasions, like when she got married.

I also like Clementine too, one of my favorite names. Cute.

I think it's delightful.

It’s cute, though there are other names I like more.

Don't ²like it at all

It's okay.

I like it. One of my colleagues in my master's cohort was called Clémentine, and she really helped to give the name a more sophisticated, artistic edge. Previously I would have considered the name kind of folksy-cute, which was also nice, but kind of two dimensional.

I've never been a fan of Clementine.

It's great! Clement is one of my favorite male names.

Clementine is sweet and cute! I like it a lot.
