I like it. I think it could work for a boy or a girl, but because of Cleopatra, it skews more to the girl side.

I assume you mean as a nn for a boy, because after Miss Cleo and Cleopatra I can't see a boy having this as an actual name.

Oh, I never thought of it for a boy

I automatically think of it as a girl's name. I've never heard of it being used on a boy before.

I read a book ("Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe") in which the narrator's husband was named Cleo. We also had a male resident at the home named Cleo; I think it was used for the boys way back when, but has shifted to the girls as the years have gone by.
