Possible foreshadowing or a crazy coincidence?
So I was bored and was curious if Clementine's nickname "Clem" is a real word. This is what I found.
Especially considering Episode 5.....

Huh. Very good find
I found this yesterday but I don't wanna do two threads a day. lol
It's not much of a coincidence, I think it's just confirmation bias. I'm from England and I've never noticed anyone say that word before, so they'd have had to have researched extremely obscure potential readings of a nickname of their character and it's just like...it's just a nickname?
All names mean something originally and if you try hard enough you can make any name relevant to their character.
Say if I took 'Harry' from Harry potter - this name means 'Home or house ruler' - is this foreshadowing that Harry would become owner of Grimmauld place?
Or 'Nick' from the Great Gatsby - this name means 'Lord' - foreshadowing of Nick's consideration of class struggles and the role of the elite in 20th century America?
Tl:dr - not really, sorry. It's not even a coincidence due to confirmation bias meaning any definition would have caused people to read it into her character :P
Lol you're probably right. Though actually J.K. Rowling is known to be a big fan of unique names (she says she loves to "collect" names and their meanings lol to use in her stories) so you never know.
Personally I like to think that Clem's parents named her after "clemency:"
Or, who knows, maybe they named her after itty bitty oranges. XD
Ok. that's a good one.
Or...
fruit.
But I never said the meaning of Clementine, which I already know.
What about Roberto Clemente? I mean he is a baseball player and the hat from my other thread... :>
Yeah, I know. I just wanted the excuse to say fruit with relevancy.
.-.
Clementine is a fruit. People eat fruit, zombies eat people. Clementine = Fruit.
Clementine is kill xdd S3 confirmed.
This foreshadows that Clem likes fruit so enjoys the apple the most in Starved for Help, obviously.
Could be since it's almost red. Like the jacket she wears if you give it to her in Episode 3.
This explains a lot actually
Blood is also red and she bleeds from the dog bite in season 2. Coincidence?
Well shit
Sure! And fyi, I did think the "clem" definition you found was cool.
fruit
