Cleo

[ganglygiraffe]

30 weeks pregnant with DD1.

What do you think of this name? Me and DP both like it, but not sure if it sounds a bit 'nick-namey'?

I think Chloe would be better than Cleo. Itll be spelt Clio and there'll be endless car jokes. It was a French girls' name first though, as was Megane.

I didn't think of cats or cars when I just read it. Nice.

Doesn't make me think of the car at all, which is Clio, anyway.

I think of Cleo Lane - which suggests the name has a certain degree of timelessness.

Go for it if you like it - it's hardly that 'out there'!

I sound like I have a lisp when I say it out loud.
Say it out loud a few times, the only way it doesn't sound lispy to me is when I say Clee Oh and that's not right either.
It wouldn't be for me sorry.

I like it a lot - it was on our shortlist for DD.

i think it's really nice, different but not weird. I wouldn't think of cars - i would think of cleopatra!

How can it sound lispy? There's no 's' or 'sh' sound...

Loooove Cleo! Definitely on my list for next DC!
