DH's father has really gotten into genealogy lately, and he keeps digging up names of ancestors. One of the recent ones is Cleo.
Apparently spelled Kleio (which is admittedly jacked-looking), it's the name of one of the muses. I also know one of the Name Berry ladies has a "Cleo" (though I think it's a contrived nickname for like...Claire Elizabeth or something?).
Thoughts? Workable? Weird?
I don't have any special investments in the name; I just thought it was kind of cute. I had a major Cleopatra obsession as a kid, though, so my family would probably make fun of me if we ever used it.
Re: Cleo
It's a total GP name for me.
I like the way it looks and sounds, but I couldn't picture using it. I wouldn't side eye it on another child.

I really like it ? it was in our top 5 for a girl this time around. I posted it a couple of times in March/April, so those threads are out there if you want more opinions.

Good point about being confused with all the Chloe's. I didn't even think about that.
I'm surprised so many people like it.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Then I realized the DD has a book called "Cleo the Cat." Hmm... must have been my association.
