heard this name for the first time the other day and think I really like it. What do you guys think and what are some other names (for a sibset) that would compliment it?

I rather recently developed a fondness for both Clemence and Clemency -- I currently prefer Clemence.

Clemence, the French feminine form of Clement, is gorgeous. I like either the original French pronunciation, "clay-MAHNS," or the English, "CLEM-ens." Clemency, on the other hand, conjurs up visions of felons awaiting parole, or asking for pardons. The "Clemency Board" association is too strong for me to like Clemency as a name.

I like how it's pretty, but in a totally unconventional name. I'm a huge fan of Clémence, so that probably has something to do with Clemency's appeal.As for sib names, how about Eloise, Melicent, Peronel, Beatrix, Guinevere, Peter, Frederick, Hadrian, or Leofric?
