Clement? Would be Clement Edward but shortened to Clem I think.

No thanks. I don't understand this fascination with names that shorten to Clem - it just makes me think 'eww, clammy'.

As ever though, your kid your choice.

Makes me think of Clement Atlee. Not perhaps the best of associations. It's my brother's middle name, and he isn't fond of it, but there's nothing particularly wrong with it.

Clement Atlee was cool!

Clement Freud as well.

Although I believe that 'clem' is used as a derogatory playground term for stupid, so worth bearing in mind...

I love it, but couldn't bring myself to give it to a child, if that makes any sense.

I wanted to name ds2 Clement (after Clement Freud), but dh vetoed.

Think they'd get picked on at school with a name like that.

I may well call a dog Clement somewhere down the line.

I really don't think it's a good idea to choose a name that absolutely nobody else has -and I tthing Clement's one of those. It's not ready for a revival yet - maybe for your next one!

ds2 arrived 11 days early at home in the bath with no pain relief WHAT SO EVER (I'm going to procure a cape & start wearing my pants on the outside of my clothes) & is now called Arthur Edward. Suits him just fine.
