Cleo or Rosa

I'd posted a previous thread before we found out we're having a girl. I was pretty set on the name Rosa but started having little doubts. I then came across the name Cleo and really love it, but hormones can do strange things Grin
I've never met a Cleo and appreciate there may be some cat or car associations....but what are your thoughts?

My cat is called Cleo so I automatically think of it as being a feline name, sorry! Rosa reminds me of Rosa Parks, which can only be a good thing.

Both nice.
I like Cleo best.
But wouldn't it really be a nn for Cleopatra?

Rosa

Cleo is my preference, quite a 'cool name but also pretty, I think.

How about Clea? I’d never heard it before until I watched The Home Edit on Netflix.

I like both names, but even before I read your entire post I thought 'Cleo is a cat's name' and Rosa is on the verge of being overused like so many lovely names are.

I was about to suggest Clea, then saw that the previous poster has beaten me to it.

I like both a lot. Feminine and strong. I think I'd choose Cleo out of the two.

I've had two Cleos in my life- one a tabby cat, the other a Renault.

Personally, I'd go for Rosa every time.

Cleo 100%

I definitely prefer Cleo, it's a gorgeous name.
