I've been thinking about Clement lately and quite liking it. If I were to use it, I'd probably put it with George, Henry, Howard, Arthur or Charles, or a combination of those. WDYT, and what would you put with it?

I've loved Clement for years. It brings to mind medieval times and mercy -- not things I generally think of in the same thought bubble. So Clement gets kudos from me for being able to pull that off. Plus, I love the sound of Clement, so distinguished.

Clement and George belong together, either in combinaiton or as siblings. You must, you must.

Clement George Charles would be my number one combo; George was my lovely favourite great-uncle who died recently. So, you never know.

I find that I much prefer your list without Howard and Henry - they've got sounds that echo Clement to distraction. Arthur is probably the best! As, rather bizarrely, is Bertram ... also Roger and Conrad.

St Clement's sauce is cold custard made with grated orange and lemon rind and mixed 50-50 with whipped cream. And St Clement's cake has orange and lemon rind in the batter and lemon juice in the icing.

Yum. Now I must have a Clement so I can make puddings for him!
You're right about Howard and Henry. Clement Arthur looks great, but in practice I find the t of Clement collides a little with the A of Arthur. The others all work very nicely.
