I like it but am a bit worried about the car association, people assuming its short for cleopatra and i have read its a cats name? Just wondering peoples thoughts x

Cleo Laine.
I know a baby Cleo and parents are always having to explain it’s not Chloe. Apparently it causes some confusion.
I like it though and think you should go for it.

Cleo the cat is all I associate it with but it's a nice name anyway

Nice name

I like it. I don't associate it with anything/one in particular, personally.

I think it's a lovely name. Has such a nice elegance to it. One of my friends is called Cleo, she's ace. I don't think of Cleopatra, immediately, although I do think of Cleo Laine, the jazz singer.

The car is spelled differently - Clio - although I appreciate it sounds the same.

I’d think short for Cleopatra.

The car won’t be around forever. Is it still produced?

I think cat immediately, but I don't think that matters really. I think the same with Felix and there are plenty of boys with that name around! Cleo is pretty.

I'm not a fan sorry. I do think of the car. That won't bother some though
