Completely hypothetical as I’m not pregnant yet (I hope that’s okay).

One is my first choice, the other is DH’s Smile

Sasha. I wish I had used it but it felt too daring at the time. All the Sasha's I have known were girls.

I love both (and think they would make good siblings!) Cleo is my first choice.

Cleo. Fab name.

To me, Sasha is a Russian boys' name, a diminutive of Alexander.

Sasha is a boys name in most east European countries as well as in Germany (spelled Sascha) and France (spelled Sacha).

I don't like either. Sasha is a boys name to me.

But would choose Cleo if I had to. Although it sounds like a car model.

Is Cleo short for Cleopatra?

Sasha is a male name in many parts of the world.

But Cleo alone reminds me of a French car 🚗.

Cleo wouldn’t be short for anything. I don’t like Cleopatra and I already have 2 DC with short, 2 syllable names so Cleopatra really wouldn’t fit with those.

Cleo or how about Saskia. Do you like that. It's similar sounding to Sasha but far prettier and gentle

I like the suggestion of Saskia. More feminine.

Cleo reminds of the Renault Clio.

Sasha and Cleo are both lovely and I agree they’d be perfect as sibling names. Cleopatra is just an insane name though, glad you’re not going for that and surprised a PP suggested it!

I think of Sasha as a boy's name too. Wouldn't use it for a girl.
