Cleo on the rise?

[NoCheese2026]

Do you think Cleo is going to become incredibly popular? It's out of the top 100 at the moment I think but I've seen/heard of quite a few baby girls being called it in the last few months... wonder if it's going to date? Any anecdotal evidence appreciated!

Lovely name. We have one in the family. Such a cool, pretty name.

It’s lovely. Was on my list for a girl. I do know one born recently but I don’t think it will become over-popular, probably more mid-range like Phoebe?

100% on the rise

Listen to cleo sol if you havent already - lovely singer and lovely name x

in which country are you? There's plenty of us around the globe.

It’s risen pretty dramatically but still not overly popular. Personally I don’t think it’ll crack top 50, but who knows - look at Luna.

Lovely name anyway :)

I really like the name Cleo. It has such a nice vibe about it. It's a lovely name but I do think it'll become popular and trendy. It has that trendy vibe about it.

There's some reason why Luna is so popular. Is it a film character or something?
Four letter L names are very popular right now.
I know a Cleo but she's in her 20s.

I really like it.

I work with children and haven’t met one yet.

I know of a baby born recently (in Spain) and a 3 year old. I don’t think it’s very popular though. Perhaps growing in popularity but not majorly so.

I really like it. I do know a few, but some are Clio or Cleopatra (really!) officially which will push Cleo itself down the rankings.

I think popularity is increasing but can’t say how popular it will get. Sorry! It’s a nice name though and much prefer to have a name ahead of the curve than behind!

I only know one and she’s in her 30s (maybe 40s)

Definitely on the rise. Two at my DD’s nursery.

Cleo is nice but it has been in use for 20 years and not reached top ten.
Chloe might be due a come back.
Claire maybe too, and Cate?

i went to school with a Cleo & liked the name so much I now have Cleo my cat.

Nicole!
Papa!

I know a Cleopatra!

Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter. She’s the quirkiest girl character. Also the meaning is nice and fits with the nature names trend. And a nice alternative to Lucy.

I know a Cleo but she's in her 30s now, not a name I've come across with younger ones

It’s gorgeous. Would have been my son’s name if he was a girl.

I went to school with a girl called Cleo, she was so beautiful and the kind of person absolutely everyone likes. She was the only one I'd heard of till a few years ago.

I love the name, it's been one of my favourite's for a long time and I had it earmarked for my future daughter - but two people I know have had daughters called Cleo in the past few years... one a is college friend, and one is an ex boyfriend from when I was 18. I don't see either of them often now but I feel like I shouldn't use it somehow. It would feel weird for me and an ex to have daughters with the same name.

I know a 5 year old Cleo- it’s sweet.

I really like it but would not use it personally, just because there are like six at my children’s junior school! And despite rising in popularity it still feels distinct enough at the moment to feel like I would be copying them 🤣

it is a lovely name though

This is what I was going to call teenage son had he been a girl so it’s definitely been popular-ish for a while.

We have one in my brownie group. I really like the name.

As DS is my youngest I never got to use the name. Thinking of using it for a future dog if DH will ever agree to a bitch which I suspect is unlikely!

I know FIVE Cleo’s, but they are all cats.
