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?

It's unanimous. That rarely happens.

Definitely Cleo. Clio is a car.

Cleo lovely. Clio car

I was opening the thread assuming id write ‘correctly.’ You didnt disappoint.

However, you havent specifically said the name is for a baby. So, if for a baby, Cleo. If for a car, well id still prefer cleo but clio if that is your preference. Either middle name. Both are lovely.

PhuntSox · 02/03/2018 19:28

Cleo Josephine

littlemisscomper · 02/03/2018 19:34

Cleo.

I think you have your answer OP! Grin

Wow thanks everyone, I think we can safely say Cleo is the best option then. We had liked the Greek muse connection with Clio, but it definitely appears that the car association is too strong.

Any more middle name thoughts appreciated.

Cleo without a doubt. Would never even imagine it could be spelt differently!

T00much · 04/03/2018 22:14

Clio for me is Renault Clio

LillyColts · 09/03/2018 17:55

If you used the spelling Clio I would suggest Juliet
If you spell it Cleo then josephine
Hope it helped
