Nice for a cat

I wanted Cleona for DD1, shortened to Cleo, but DH thought it was rubbish. Not many people seemed to like it actually, but I love it! It's just a shame about the car.

I had it on my short list (but Clio), and then ds turned out to be a ds!

Like it a lot

I think of the car, although it's quite a nice name!

I think of a cat. I can't put my finger on why.

Its on our list. I like it but is not really grabbing me if you see what I mean....

I like it but it is quite often used as a pet name so a lot of people might associate it with dogs/cats.

Had a friend called Cleo - think it's lovely, but always thought of the car when I first met her. Not sure if she might find it a bit difficult to live with for this reason.

I love it. Classic and beautiful. Works for a baby and a woman. But then I'm biased as we have a Cleo :)

It's gorgeous.

I really like it, to me it's a v cute name- don't know anyone called Cleo but I imagine that a Cleo would be rather stylishly dressed!

My cat was called Cleo too! But I do think it is a lovely name and know a little girl called this. It's cool and not too sweet.

Perfect name! Do it!Yes, maybe right now we all think cat... but by the time Cleo is 17 she'll be awesome and the only Cleo in the school surrounded by girls named Isabella.

Do it.

I've always rather liked Cleo Rocos - so for that tenuous reason alone, I say go for it.

Ah fab thats just the reaction I was hoping for!! I think its a fab name and goes perfectly with DD1 Lyra. Love ChuckYouFarlie's comment. Hope to have a girl now as stuck for boy's name except Theo (I see a theme emeriging here) but thats a tad to popular for me :)

It's a pretty name but... I work in the lingerie industry and it's a brand name for curvy girls so that's the association I make!

I LOVE Lyra too. You have good taste! Smile
