Cleo for a little girl? WDYT?

[Lexx]

We still haven't decided on a name....throwing another one into the mix. When you see the name Cleo do you think of a female straight away? Can you see a Cleo as a grown confident successful woman? Have you heard of any baby girls named Cleo? Does it make you think of a Clio car or a cat or do you think of it as a beautiful name???!!
Just seeing what the general consensus is. Thanks in advance!

I really like it! (but my taste in names is notoriously chav-tastic and has to be reined in by DH ).

Really nice

Love it. Think of Cleo Laine who is far from chav.

Gorgeous! Lovely name for the woman-to-be, too.

Love it! I had a horse when I was about 17 and I called her Cleo. Great name

Lol! Hope it's not perceived as chavvy???

I like it.

I like it & would think it the opposite of chavvy

No! I don't think it's at all chavvy - I really like it!

It's just that I have liked a lot of names on these threads that other mumsnetters have thought were a bit "common" - I just meant no one shares my taste on here!

Really like it - Cleo Laine for me too, so definitely an adult's name.

Or how about Clea? I've heard that before but only in very posh circles

Not a bit c####y; I love it. I think it's a cool and elegant name for a grown up, and a lovely sweet, unfussy-sounding name for a girl.

I really like Cleo, unusual and classy. Please use it!

I love it!

Beautiful, classic.

Beautiful, for a baby girl and as she grows up. Very pretty but not too frilly, certainly not chavvy, i dont think of the car, or a pets name, maybe Cleo Laine though which isnt a bad thing.

Make sure you buy Cleo the Cat yourself and let people know you have it or you will get a lot of copies as gifts!
V nice name.

Not chavvy at all. Can imagine very successful, confidant, kind,well educated woman Cleo.
People might ask if it's short for Cleopatra though. Not that it matters.

or maybe Cleo Rocos, but still, she's a bit eccentric and posh and it suits her.

I hate it. I don't think it's at all beautiful. It does make me think of the car.

I was debating over this name for ages and had a few threads. Most people seem to like it. I still reall ylike it, though because its not that common at the mon(not in the top couple of hundred) people seem unsure. Still in my short list

Personally, to me Cleo will always be a fat little ginger Staffie, but I do love the name - and my family's habit of calling pets by human names has ruled out a lot of names I really like. Sophie the dog, Emily the sheep, Rowan the horse...sometimes it's beneficial, like when I was able to veto Jasper (suggestion by DH, clearly channeling his inner yah) as he was a cat my Granny owned when I was five.

I like Cleo. I know one Cleo (South African girl in her twenties), & there's a Cleo in the Alexandria Quarter by Lawrence Durrell.

We have a friend in France called Cléo (pronounced clay-oh), she's about seven years old. It a really lovely name, and increasing in popularity over there.

I LOVE the name Clio but prefer it spelt the way I have.
My last baby was going to be Clio but I had a DS and I won't be having any more.Gutted I won't be able to use the name.
