Cleopatra, Cleo for short.

[Gateau]

I have never heard any girl named this, but I love it: both the full version and the shortened. It does naturally sound very dramatic and IF I have a girl she may be a little shy thing.
Any thoughts?

Cleo on its own if you must. Not Cleopatra!

I thought it might get that reaction. It's a very out there name!

I know a Cleo, which I think is a lovely name, but not Cleopatra!

Cleo I like. Or Clio.

I knew of sisters Clio and Xara. And they would be in their late 40s now. Weird that both names became cars.

Love Cleo.

V nearly called by dd this, short for Cleodie.

Don't like Cleopatra (comin' atcha)

We would have called DS Cleo - he is Theodore, or Theo.

But not Cleopatra, just Cleo is lovely.

Comin at ya!

(Sorry couldn't help it! Does it show my age?)

Cleo was on our list of favourites for DD. Cleopatra is gorgeous but I wouldn't have the guts!

Not Cleopatra, but i like Cleo.

Cleo is cute!
Name of the late cat though.

it's an awful lot to live up to

I know a Cleopatra known as Cleo, she is a teenager now.

oh I loved the name Cleopatra, always thought when growing up if I ever had a daughter I'd call her Cleopatra Meg. DH vetoed it straight away needless to say! - I say go for it if you like it and your DP is ok with it!!!

DH wouldn't let me have Cleo for DD3 was going to use it as a nn for clementine though
