I think my DH has worn me down- Clementine

in Baby Names

Since the week in December that we found out we were having a baby, DH has said we were going to name her Clementine.  I have been horrified at this and thought it was so terrible.  I've even polled on here about it before!  To my surprise, not everyone thinks its as bad as I do/did.  So I've really been seriously considering, trying to be objective.  Seeing the "guilty pleasures" poll from yesterday made me look at it again. 

I'm looking for honest feedback.  What do you think about the name:

Lily Clementine?

    As a middle name, it is fine. (I would never use it as a first name).

    The last time I was announced by my first and middle name was my convocation from grad school in 2003.....    Middle names just are not used in day to day life. If he loves it and you can live with it, go for it (assuming you are happy with the first name).

    It's not bad as a middle name. ?I'd vote a big fat NO on that as a first name, but with Lily it sounds okay.

    It's fine for a middle name but awful for a first name IMHO.  (All I can think of is obviously the song, which isn't very uplifting.)  No one really pays attention to middle names anyway.

    I personally love it as a first or middle name. It's different. It's sweet.

    And Lily Clementine is pretty :)

    I really love the name Clementine.  I knew a Clementine in college who pronounced her name Clemen-teen which I think is pretty.

    I really like this combo, I'm not really a fan of Clementine but as a middle name its not so bad, especially since your dh loves it.

    Lily is so cute, and I agree that middle names just aren't used. Go for it!

    It was my guilty pleasure name too :)

    MH never cared for it until he actually met a pretty little girl named Clementine and it made him fall in love with it.

    Lily Clementine is adorable!

    Lily Clementine sounds sweet. Sybil Shephard's daughter is named Clementime, beautiful girl.

    Clementine sounds very country to me. I don't care for it even as a middle name.
