Klelia?

[Nescafegoldblend]

What do you think? Or Clelia is better?

Reminds me of Made in Chelsea.

I can barely pronounce it, it gets stuck on my tongue and feels very clunky.

Sounds like a pharmaceutical designed to cure an STD, sorry.

Go for it hun it’s ammmmmaaaaazzziiiinnngg

Sounds like a Klingon.

Is it an actual name?

Nope. What about Cleo?

Kleptomania?

Celia? Sounds similar and it’s an actual name.

Cleonie?

Sounds like a bacterial disease

Kleptocracy?

The only way I can think to pronounce it sounds very much like ‘cleaner’.

Don’t do it

Klebsiella ❤

That's not easy to say. At all.

I met someone Clelia a few years ago but people couldn't wrap their heads around the name at first, there was a lot of 'Celia? Clelia? Are you sure that's her name or is it a typo?' So might be confusing. Camellia might be an option if you like that?

Definitely sounds like medication for something unpleasant.

I quite like it, but it doesn't trip off the tongue for English speakers, plus I believe it's the name (well, Cloelia) of the Roman protagonist of a Latin-language novel or novella used by Latin learners, so it probably has Biff, Skip and Chipper (or whoever?) connotations for some.

Mind you, I also think the inexplicably popular Aurora doesn't trip off the tongue for most, either, and would be impossible for anyone with rhotacism (pronouncing 'r' as 'w').

sounds like a body part

If you have to, with a C. Are you from Cornwall?

It's a horrid name and hard to pronounce.

I get that you don't like it for various reasons but honestly what is the problem with the tongue?

I mean can you not say claclaclaclaclaclacla quickly?

How are you pronouncing it that cla comes in?

No it’s towie. And is the most unattractive name I’ve ever heard. My opinion only of course.

Spelling aside, it's terrible.

I love Clelia, the only time I've come across it is in the book 'Jerusalem the Golden' by Margaret Drabble.

Just don’t … your poor child has to live with this name for the rest of their life and will CONSTANTLY have to explain how to say it/ spell it to others
