[Opinions] Name dream

My dream last night contained a female character called Clement. What are your thoughts on Clement for a girl? If you had to use Clement as a feminine first name (not Clementine, not Clemency, not Clémence, just Clement!), what middle names would you pair it with? What would you name her siblings?

I don’t like it, but I guess it’s usable. It seems more masculine to me. Clemency is a GP of mine and I never cared for Clementine but it’s okay.

Clement Inez
Clement Eunice
Clement Isidora
Clement Vivienne

Clement, and Victor.

I instantly imagined it with a silent -t, like Laurent! I'd never use it: too masculine, too confusing, and I like Clemency too much to mess with it.

Clement seems a bit boring in its harshness, imo.
Ok, I'm using Clement...
Clement Iris
Clement Irene
Clement Odette
Clement Pandora
Clement Madeleine

As for siblings I'd go with
Endellion Claire and Leo Emerens

Tbh, I’m not a fan of this name or it’s variants. However, I can appreciate its uniqueness. I would have to go with Merit or Valiant as siblings.

Hm yeah, I definitely like Clementine more. Clement is simply too masculine for a girl. Although I find Clementine to be over the top, it’s certainly better. I will say though, that I like Clementine’s association with oranges, and I think it could make a nice middle name, but certainly not a first name. Clement is unusable, it’s harsh and blunt without the “ine” on it, and the orange, springlike association is taken away.

If you forced me to use it, here’s what the middle names could be:
Clement April
Clement Rose
Clement Cassidy
Clement Luna
Clement Sophia
Clement Marie
Clement Elle
Clement Serenity

Siblings:
Boys: Everest or Marcus
Girls: Flora, Joanna or Tempest

I agree on Tempest

Yeah. Personally, I don’t like the name Tempest for a real person but it fits with Clement so well.

Yup, same

I'd probably go Bs to the walls and pick something like Temperance, Harmony, Truly, Prosper, Noble, Merit, Justice, Honor, Valiant, Valor, Gallant, Courage, Glory, Mercy, Patience, Charity, Clarity, Concord, Blythe, Cherish, Tranquility, Serenity, Promise, Perseverance, Liberty or similar by that point. If we are already getting into obscure virtue/word names might as well go hard or go home with an eccentric matching wordy sibset.
