Cleo on the rise?

Do you think Cleo is going to become incredibly popular? It's out of the top 100 at the moment I think but I've seen/heard of quite a few baby girls being called it in the last few months... wonder if it's going to date? Any anecdotal evidence appreciated!

There's some reason why Luna is so popular. Is it a film character or something?
Four letter L names are very popular right now.
I know a Cleo but she's in her 20s.

It’s a Harry Potter character. People having kids now grew up with it.

I know a Kleopatra which initially made me think was an unnecessary spelling change, but maybe they’ll change it to Kleo with time. Love Cleo

I like the name a lot. I know one girl aged 13, my aunt’s dog and my neighbour’s cat all called Cleo. However this would not put me off. Many nice names are interchangeable human and pet names nowadays like Millie, Lucy, Molly, Oscar etc. it has a cool vibe to it but would work well on an adult or a child.
