I’d love to be called Cleo, it would sound so good with my surname!
I actually think this is a good question to ask yourself when naming a baby, you might like the name and think it sounds amazing but would you actually want to be called it yourself?

Surely we could all change our names if we wanted to?

I've often considered using my very unusual middle name, but I feel that I've finally settled into my first name now, and like the abbreviation I use, so I'm sticking with it.

I wish I was called my full name and not the shortened version. I love my full name now but have got so used to introducing myself as the shortened version for the past 40 odd years it’s who I’ve become!

Miranda (although slightly less keen after the television show - fell in love with it from reading the Tempest)

Yes, actually I wouldn’t change my name - which has already been mentioned on here, woo! - I was thinking more if I had to have a different name.
