I recently saw a little girl named
Cleo in the West End production
Matilda, and since then, the name has grown and grown on me. I never gave it much thought because I
really don't like
Chloe, but I really like
Cleo. And according to Adenydd, her real name is
Cleopatra, which I think is fantastic.
What do you think of it? My one concern is that it would be cute until the girl is 12 or so, and then be childish. But on the right sort of person it could also have the sort of elegance that
Hero or
Margo can have. It's weird how much I like this name. Only with
Blaise have I ever had a name shoot up into my top twenty-ish so soon after I saw it.
