30 weeks pregnant with DD1.

What do you think of this name? Me and DP both like it, but not sure if it sounds a bit 'nick-namey'?

I love Cleo but then I'm an Egypt geek and would use Cleopatra Grin Blush

If she's born and doesn't look like the name you've picked, you'll find another one. She might not look like your "back up" name either! Don't fret, there's six weeks to register Wink

Yes but to be honest I agree! I knew it was a cats name, but hoped I was imagining it and would be able to add it to the list Grin

DP thinks I'm mad and doesn't understand why we can't just go with the name we both like, but I just need another name. What if when she's born she just doesn't 'look' like the name we have picked?? Then we won't have any other names and my baby will be nameless!

I wouldnt be Sad about it. its your choice ultimately!

Dont be swayed by strangers on the internet!

Someone I know of used it recently.

Think its a bit trendy and will sound odd in few years. Cat/Car links are a bit too much for me personally.

Sad

I have one other name that we both love, but I'm desperate to have a few alternatives just in case. However we can't think of any other names we like.

Sounds like a cats name. Sorry.

Badgerina · 06/08/2012 10:30

It's a car.

Sorry, I think it sounds like a pets name.
