[Opinions] Clothilde
I didn't give this name much thought until today, when I realized I really like it. It's a bit stuffy, but it's also pretty and uncommon. Thoughts? Combo ideas?

I have mixed feelings about this name. It almost feels like I have to like it (because I really like Mathilde/Matilde and Mathilda/Matilda), but the Colth- part is very unattractive to me. I kind of like it as a middle name, though. It feels spunky and unexpected. Isadora Clothilde
Anastasia Clothilde (sounds very upper class)

I just became aware of it too. I think it's subtle and lovely. I would call her Clio for short.

Clio is a terrific nn for Clothilde.

Agreed. All the Clothilde I know get nicknamed "Clo" though, not great.

I love Clotilda, so clunky and Dark Ages-ish funky. And then the French come along and turn her into a princess, fit for the ball. Clothilde is gorgeous. No two ways about it. I've tinkered with the idea of using Chloe as a nn for Clotilda / Clothilde. I know they are etymologically different. But it is a fun option.Clothilde Aimee ("eh-MAY")

Ste. Clothilde has such an interesting story! The name is certainly uncommon, interesting meaning. I also like the nns Tilda and Tilly. Using it in English might be tough, the spelling Clotilde might be better so people avoid saying "cloth-ild."Clothilde Agnès
