I named my first guinea pig this in the 80s, inspired by Cleos Laine and Rocos. What do we think? Is it ripe for revival? I think it's rather chic and sultry sounding and an alternative to the very popular Chloe. Derived from Greek kleos (glory, fame). Would it have to be short for Cleopatra?

I'd veto it out of principle! But then I am a petty cow

IvyandGold the irony was he wanted to call DD3 the name he'd completely vetoed for DD2!!!

I loved Cleo when I was pregnant! Another completely unreasonable DP veto! I wouldn't have it as a nn for Cleopatra, though I'm normally quite against nn as first names.

I LOVED it but DH said no for DD3, there won't be a DC4 so won't get to use it.

I was going to use it as a stand alone not short for Cleopatra.

I love the name. Like the fish in pinnochio. One of my primary school teachers was called Cleo (she seemed really old back then. I wonder how old she really was).
