Definitely Clemence

---

Petra makes me think "petrified" or "pestulence"

---

Clemence makes me think Clementine and sweet oranges and french nobility

Clemence

I prefer Petra. I like Clemence as well, but Petra sounds more lively and seems to have more personality.

I like them both about equally, but I'll say Petra. Petra Clemence could be a good combo. :) Then you could use them both.

I'd like Clemency much better. Clemency Petra could work as a combo; I don't like Petra for a fn.

I think it's gorgeous!I love Clemence Jane, Clemence Nell, and Elowen Clemence (Clemence Elowen would be pretty too)

Clemence [m]

Petra is just kind of bland, and it makes me think of dust. Clemence is bright and sunny on the other hand.

I really do not care for either. I guess I am not much help, but I find them equally unattractive.

Clémence

---

Clémence depending on where you live because I think pronunciation can make or break this name.

---

I dont think of Petra as the name of a young vibrant women, because the only one's Ive met are really old women who were doing janitorial type jobs. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, its just the sort of person I imagine named Petra now.

Petra, though I don't particularly care for either.

Clemence. I love Clemence

I don't like either that much at all, but I think Clemence goes better with Matthias and Leopold.

Petra!!

---

I have decided I'm mad for Petra. It's strong, pert, primal, and appeals to my enjoyment of kitsch. I'm not saying that Petra is a "cheap" name, no no. But it immediately puts me in mind of pteradactyls and chunky amber jewelery and Pebbles Flintstone and saucy leopard-print frocks. I'm not sure why I think of that before the beautiful, rose-coloured ancient city of Petra, which should give it a more glamourous and eerie-historical air, but I do.

---

But hey, even if the city doesn't come to my mind right away, it likely will for others, and having that as background colour is nothing to sneeze at. Seriously, pictures of Petra take my breath away.

middle name ideas!

Definitely Petra! It sounds a lot more mature and in has a noble side as well as a pretty, "younger" side. Clemence is good, but a bit too sticky-sweet. I like Petra with Matthias and Leopold a lot!

Petra by far! It's so strong but pretty. And more feminine than Clemence. And the meaning is awesome.
