Okay.

Clotilde.

Is it horribly ugly?

Do you prefer Clotilde or Clothilde?

I heard it and something in me instantly attached to it, I don't know why. I love possible nicknames Chloe and Tilly. But I have the feeling it is probably really unattractive sounding to most people.

It looks cluttered! If you MUST use it then I'd suggest Clotilde. Are you French by any chance?

[blueberrybumble.livejournal.com]

Eh, part French, but not anywhere near enough to be like OH I AM FRENCH. My mother's last name is French, but we don't know anyone in the family who has actually been from there for generations. I just like the name.

I don't despise it, but I'm never quite sure how it's pronounced. I like the spelling Clotilde better though.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Clo-TEELD.

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

I don't like it. :\

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I don't really like or dislike it. I prefer Clothilde over Clotilde because Clotilde looks unfinished to me.

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

It's nms but Clotilde is better imo, because it doesn't have the word "cloth" in it as the other spelling, which I think just opens it up for more teasing, than it might get.

And I would pronounced it ethnically, like my mother who is German would. "Cloe-til-de", de as in how the french say de. And I think Chloe would be an awesome nick name for it, and Tilly would work too. Even Tilde, like Tilda, could work.

I don't really think 'cloth' is that bad or teaseable. I mean, I think if kids were going to tease someone about cloth being in their name, they would tease them even if their name was Sarah. I do like Clotilde better, though.

I say klo-TEELD. For Clotilde at least. I would say it the German way for Clothilde.

Clotilde has Clot... Blood Clot... hahahhah!

jk. yea, any namy is subject to being made fun of with the wrong kids.

[popminx.livejournal.com]

That was my first thought!

[chirpygirly.livejournal.com]

Kids will tease for anything, even simple names, like Sarah. I know. I'm a Jennifer and even I had to deal with it. I just think that some names make it easier, and so I prefer to try to steer away from that as best as possible. :)

[sublime29girlie.livejournal.com]

i dont like either. i think the CLOT and CLOTH are just kinda.... idk, not my style i guess... i do like both of the nick names tho.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Unattractive sounding, unattractive looking. I don't like it at all. If I had to pick between the two, I'd probably go with Clotilde.

[mystiaunknown.livejournal.com]

I don't really care for it at all...just not my style.

[blueberrybumble.livejournal.com]

No, I can see where it could sound very ugly.

[go-away-finchel.livejournal.com]

i don't really like it much - and not because it's foreign or ethnic - i just think it's not very attractive.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

I don't like it, but I prefer Clothilde, and I don't like the nn Tilly because Clothilde sounds VERY French and Tilly doesn't - it's kind of mismatched in my book.

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a blood disorder or an embarrassing body part.

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

I don't like how it looks, but I like how it sounds, and love the nick names.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I don't really like how it ends up sounding in english.
In french, it makes more sense, although it's a still quite the great-grandma name.

[clare-dragonfly.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot.

But it's also the name of my bicycle.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot. I prefer Clothilde. I like the nn Hilde (Hill-dee).

[smellslikeglue.livejournal.com]

I love it. One of the kids from an exchange I did to France was called Clothilde, and after seeing it used on an actual girl, I fell in love. Sometimes you just need to see a name working in real life to fall in love with it. I don't like the way it sounds when it's said all English-like though.

[everinbluejeans.livejournal.com]

All I can think when I see it is "clitoris." *blush* Apparently I am dirty-minded?

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

not horribly ugly, but not my style either. for what it's worth, i think clothilde looks better, and i like the nickname chloe.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I don't dislike it due to any foreign or 'ethnic' connotations--it's just not really my style. As an English speaker, it looks odd.

[tiphanism.livejournal.com]

I like it, with either spelling.

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

It makes me think of the old lady in El Chavo (). I'll never be able to hear this name without thinking of her.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of The Three Incestuous Sisters. :) And I prefer the spelling with the h.
