Cleopatra?

It's the top of my list if no.3 is a girl but my sister pulled a bit of a face when I mentioned it.

I love that it's unusual but still a proper name and that it can be shortened to Cleo or Pat
so she'd have the option of either a more traditionally girly or a more tomboyish nickname or her whole name when she older depending on what she feels suits her.

I know a woman from Cyprus named Kleopatra. She goes by Kleo.

Yikes
It’s different op

Cleo is better imo

Cleo is OKish but Cleopatra? No. And Pat? That's dreadful.

That’s quite a name to carry off poor kid. What if she’s quiet bookish and low key? Cleo is lovely though.

I’d love to know what your other two are called though! Wink

It's a bit much for me. Cleo is great, though.

I’m all for Cleo but Cleopatra is a bit... much.

Comin' Atcha!

(It makes me think of the 90s girl group / song)

Love it! Love Cleo as a name on its own (was on my list but DP said no).
