my beautiful cat is called cleo-short for cleopatra as she looks like an egyptian queen!

dizzydixies · 31/03/2010 10:26

I LOVE Cleo - DH wouldn't let me have it for DD3 though

GladioliBuckets · 31/03/2010 09:51

I love this name. There's also Cléa from the Lawrence Durrell book.

Cleo is short for Cleopatra

Clio is the muse of history and a daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology (and also unfortunately a car)

At no point a boy

Girl, lovely name.

If this bump was a girl she would've been Clementine, nn Cleo. Sigh...

PoppyC · 30/03/2010 16:12

GIRL!!

See film, cleo from 5 to 7. Great French film and beautiful actress! (the character's a little shallow, though!)

Cat, or Cleo Laine, sorry.

MrsJohnDeere · 30/03/2010 11:57

Girl (as in Laine)

MrsFlittersnoop · 30/03/2010 11:50

Boy?? But it's short for Cleopatra, shurely?

PLEASE don't tell me anyone here has ever heard of a male Cleo!

[confused and moves away from thread emoticon]

AllieW · 30/03/2010 10:29

I think of cats, too, I'm afraid. And only after that do I think of Cleo Laine. Apparently it wasn't her real name, either: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleo_Laine.
