Vera- Uneducated, bitter waitress at a diner with too much makeup. Clementine- Sweet, nice, maybe a bit mischievous. Lenora- Weird. Hates people and makes everyone feel creepy. Valentina- born in Italy, succumbs to being called Val - sad to have been forced to live in dull USA instead of beautiful Italy and being mistaken for plain Valerie. Lila- raised in the coal mining region in a trailer with no running water, but the family had a massive tv and a monster truck. As an adult, becomes obsessed with shoes because she had to go barefoot as a child and it embarrassed her. Clarence is unique. I think Clementine is your only choice here. |

Congratulations OP!
Vera - ok, but I would not want this name, other names are better IMO #4 Clementine - would be a hard no for me #5 Lenora - beautiful name #2 Valentina - beautiful, timeless #3 Lila - love, love this name (and I only know one) #1 |

| How about Liora instead of Lenora |
|
I like Vera and Lenora best. Lenora can be shortened to Leni or Nora, and I like both.
Lila is nice but popular and will get lost with all the girls named Lily too. Valentina is very pretty. Clementine would be shortened to Clem, hard no. |

I mean, the fact that you named someone CLARENCE tells us everything we need to know here. But sure, why not.
Vera - an old woman who smells weird - Clementine - she will hate her name by middle school - Lenora - her mother is an 80 yr old Italian grandma - Valentina - her parents are from Italy - Lila - parents are trying to classy up the family with this kid |
Not clementine it makes me think of hunger games |
| Can you add Vanessa and Veronica since you are in to V names? |
| Add Vanna, help her if Vanna White ever passes but matches well with Clarence |
What does it tell us? That she has horrific taste in names? |
Vera - Russian, truth Clementine - Oh My Darling! Lenora - halfway to a stripper name, Anora -Valentina - Russian -Lila - no associations |
|
lol how old are some of these commenters who mentioned Mel’s Diner? I had to look it up. Odds are this kid isn’t going to be interacting with many folks who have that as a cultural point of reference (I.e., anyone born before 1965).
I love these names and appreciate they aren’t super overused (Ava, Charlotte, Olivia, Maddie, Ellie-variants, etc.). |
I also feel so badly for Clarence! |
|
Vera, Lenora, and Clementine (Clem/Clemmie=ugh) are terrible.
Lila is nice, but super popular. Valentina is pretty, and I've met Valentinas who are Latin, Italian, and Eastern European, so it isn't really confined to one specific nationality as some other posters maintain. |
