Another Cleo thread...

[YouCantCallMeBetty]

DD due in November. Sorry, I know it's been done a few times before but thoughts on Cleo (or Clio?). Why would you pick one spelling over another and why do people says it's a cat's name? Please enlighten me
Other options that we don't hate are Catherine or Juliet.

Cleopa, NN Cleo.

No idea why it's a cats' name, saints name as far as I'm aware.

Catherine and Juliet are both lovely.
How about Cleona, nick name Cleo.

I prefer Catherine

I don't like Cleo, but this is the spelling I'd choose if I had to pick one. Clio reminds me of the car.

I prefer Catherine and Juliet. Juliet is one of my favourite names, so that'd be my pick of the three.

I like both spellings of Clio/Cleo, but as a history fan I'd go for Clio.

All three names are lovely. Prefer Cleo spelling.

Catherine, juliet then Cleodie? Nn Cleo.

I love Cleo!

People say it's a cat name because there are cats named Cleo. And books, eg a whole series with this cat. And I know a real local cat called Cleo.

I prefer the spelling Cleo even if the muse of history is called Clio. But then you get the 'named after the car' issue. People will also ask if her full name is Cleopatra. But I still think the name is lovely.

I think Catherine has quite a different vibe - classic, traditional (think Elizabeth, Jane, Anna etc).

Also just to warn you that people willl fairly regularly call her Chloe...

Great name! Who cares if people think it's a cat name - I love Felix for a boy too (off topic).

I prefer Cleo as Clio is the car and is also one step closer to clit Sorry you did ask.

Ah thanks Wigeon, that helps with the cat query!

Catherine or Juliet is far better

It's a lovely name, I do have a cat called Cleo (sorry) but she was named before I got her and I don't think of it exclusively as a cats name.

As someone with a ds called Felix, there's a difference between a cat name (e.g. Socks) or a dog name (e.g. Rover) and a HUMAN name that people have been known to give to cats/dogs!!

Really hoping that someone is now going to furiously tell me about the people they know called Socks/Rover...

Love Cleo/Clio btw.

Cleo! Renault Clio is a car! It's a cute name
