Which spelling?

Clio or Cleo?

Think we have finally settled upon this. We're leaning towards Clio but I'm wondering if most people would assume the Cleo spelling

Also for a middle name - Juliet or Josephine? Or something else?

Clio is a car.

Clio is a car!! Please don't use that spelling it's awful x

cheapskatemum · 28/02/2018 22:51

Agree that Cleo is better, because Clio as a car. I prefer Juliet to Josephine though.

Cleo

Clio isn’t a name is it? It’s just a car surely

MrsElvis · 28/02/2018 23:07

Oh my gosh please go with Cleo and not Clio

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 28/02/2018 23:09

Clio was one of the nine Muses

GlitterBurps · 28/02/2018 23:11

Cleo Juliet

TenThousandSpoons · 28/02/2018 23:11

I also thought Cleo.
Either middle name is lovely.
How do you feel about “CJ”?

QuantamBaby · 28/02/2018 23:13

Cleo, Clio really isn't good!

Mintylemons · 28/02/2018 23:13

I think the e looks nicer than the i.

Proudmummy2MA · 28/02/2018 23:40

Love Cleo Josephine :-)

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 28/02/2018 23:42

Wow Cleo Josephine is a fabulous name!

BackforGood · 28/02/2018 23:42

Cleo.
I would just think 'car' if I saw Clio.

DramaAlpaca · 28/02/2018 23:43

If it wasn't for the car I'd say Clio, but you just can't really.

Cleo is still good. Cleo Josephine is very nice.

MonsteraDeliciosa · 01/03/2018 00:08

Another vote for Cleo. That's pretty cool, actually, never met one before!

Clio is ruined by the car association.

ChocolateCrunch · 01/03/2018 02:03

Cleo Josephine

SuperBeagle · 01/03/2018 06:11

I like Clio, but agree with others that the car association has spoilt it.

So, Cleo Josephine.

Everyone will assume it's spelled Cleo. If it's Clio she'll have to correct people every time.
Be nice to your child, spell it Cleo!
