Help[Opinions] Re: Clementine
in reply to a message by noisynora
If it's a kind of orange, it gets a long I. Also if it's a song! But for a human name, I vastly prefer the long E.
The only one I know is actually named Clementene, because her parents wanted to make their preferred pronunciation obvious. It looks odd, but I do understand their feelings.
Clementina sometimes happens where I live: there's a well-known potter called Clementina, can't recall her ln but it's certainly Afrikaans, as are the other Clementina people I've seen references to. I find it uncomfortably long, but it works in Afrikaans and Clementine wouldn't.
