Clio

With an 'i'. As in the Greek muse of history. Too Renault?

Or any other names that are a bit different but not crazy, and ideally don't end in 'a', as a sister for Elsa...

Like Cleo. Clio is a not very reliable car DH used to drive to me, sorry!

I do think Clio is a bit too renault, I'm afraid. Nice sounding name, though. Cleo nicer.

I like Cleo but when I see Clio I think of the car.

Sorry - too Renault

I don't think it would be terrible to have another 'ends in a' name though.

I don't think it would be terrible, but it would be nice to think of something a bit different. Can't really think of other girls' names ending in 'o'. Juno?

Clio = the car (ok, and the muse of History, but mostly the car)

Cleo = an actual name (and a very good one too Smile)

Picture of a small Cleo on my profile (DD2).

Although people will call her Chloe, and spell it Clio, even if you do go with Cleo.

I LOVE the name Clio. I have a friend with the name and think it must be great to have a rare name.
Go for it.....so much more interesting than the usual top 10!

I love it. Cliona/Clíodhna was on my list but DH wasn't keen.

Don't really like Chloe. Cleopatra makes me think of that short-lived girlband "Cleopatra! Coming atcha!"

Hmm. It seems that most names ending in 'o' are boys names. Back to the drawing board then!

I've justly been looking up some Greek mythology for you. Other (less common) female names ending in "o" include:

Calypso, Erato, Ceto, Aceso, Enyo, Alphito, Caligo, Peitho, Brimo, Brizo, Celaeno, Clotho, Iaso.
