I def. agree with you thats a bad name and shes bound to be made fun of by her peers and parents these days really arent thinking about that, their only thinking about what they think is cute.. kids can be extremely cruel and judge you before they even hear you speak so try and explain this to her and just ask her if their are any other names that she has picked that she likes as much as this one and try and help her out some but in the end it is her choice

It's not my favorite name either, but I'd keep my opinion to myself if I were you. It will only hurt your daughter's feelings. I'd be careful about nicknames too. Some people don't like it when others give their children nicknames. When the baby gets older and realizes that you don't like her name it will make her feel bad too. You may find that as you get to know your granddaughter you will love her so much that the name will grow on you. I have also known several people who had a name picked out and then changed their mind in the hospital because the baby "just didn't look like a Klementine".

You don't!!!! What ever you do you don't tell. What is telling her going to do? Is she going to change the baby's name. NO. So really other than taking the chance that you are going to upset your daughter this accomplishes nothing.
Find some little cute trait that your grand daughter does and use that for her nick name. My neice looked like a baby bird when she wanted to eat when so was little so she is 14 and we still call her bird. Changing my son I used to tell him he was stinky. Poor kid is almost 5 and is still Stinky. My 2 year old was so chubby before he started walking so he is Chunky. I don't think these kids even know their real name and it will become something special that you and her will share.

If the baby is already here and named, keep your lip buttoned. It's irrelevant.
Lena and Tina are the most common nicknames I know associated with this name. My grandmother had several friends named Clementina or Clementine, but I imagine most have passed on by now. Only one went by Clemmie. Hey, my grandmother's name was Adeline and even that is gaining popularity again.

If they picked it you should let it be, just embrace your new grandchild with love and support your daughter. You can mention some other names you think she may like that will sit better on your tongue but thats really all you can do. If you keep mentioning nice names perhaps along the same line of Klementine (unique and cheerful) it is possible that one may strike her fancy even more, and thus you both will be happy.
Congrats on your grandchild!

You absolutely don't telll her! It's her baby!
My mom didn't like my future baby's name and she had no right to try to control what I named my baby! Her opinion totally ruined my love for the name.
Once you get to know the baby a nickname will develop. Do they have a middle name picked out? Maybe her eyes will be as blue as the sky and you can call her "Sky" or whatever.... just an example.
Anyway, don't ruin her baby's name!

I share in your view of this name, I don't like it at all, too old fashion for me. But I bet you, after seeing your grandchild, you'll fall in love with her and the name too. So this is why I wouldn't say anything.
I think a good nick name would be 'Em'.
Good luck and congrats!

I think that is best that you let your daughter ultimately decide the name. You may want to offer suggestions, but I wouldn't press the issue too hard. Is it a boy or girl? if its a boy you could call him "klem". A girl, possible "tine", or "teny". Or you could just wait until the bundle of joy arrives and see what nickname its personality brings to mind.

YOU DONT TELL HER.
Your opinion doesn't matter, and the naming of a baby isn't done by comittee. Don't hurt her feelings. Chances are she'll name it Klementine no matter what you say, so why soil her excitement?
You can nickname her by her middle name or something totally unrelated. Or "Tina" is a twist off the "tine" in klementine"

You don't tell her. My sister and I never told anyone what we planned to name our children (even though we gave them each very normal names), so that we wouldn't have to hear about it.
As far as that actual name, I know someone named Clementine and she's a wonderful person and the name is quite nice.
