Is baby name too close to my own name?

Hi there,

We are having a girl and my DP really likes the name Cleo.

I like it too and it's currently top of our very short list - we have been finding the name thing quite hard work!

What I'm not sure about is if it's a bit too close to my own name Claire?

My DP likes Cleo because it also incorporates letters from his first name - sort of like a joining of our names which I think is quite sweet of him.

But I suddenly started to worry that it's too similar to my name - don't want to come across as a bit narcissistic and want her to be able to be her own person - although I have to say a lot of people have called me Sarah throughout my life as I obviously look like one more than a Claire Grin

Appreciate your thoughts!

If you pronounce Claire as ‘Cleer,’ then Cleo is a quite similar, but fine otherwise.
