Hi, We are due a girl in a couple of weeks and are stuck between two names Cleo and Lila. Which do you prefer?

Cleo. Don’t like Lila, sounds weird to me, like lilo.

Lila. I’m not a huge fan of Cleo.

I prefer Lila. It is more common though.

I like Chloe better than Cleo.

Cleo - so gorgeous!

Lila - nice enough but way too common at the moment which would put me off.

Cleo 100%

I like both. I'd probably lean towards Cleo, as it's more unusual and stronger sounding. Lila is lovely and pretty, but there are a lot of similar sounding names around at the moment (Lyra, Lola, Layla, Lara etc.) Cleo stands out and is cute for a little girl but strong for a grown woman.
