2 interesting Spanish names
I recently met a lovely young Spanish woman and her cute as a button toddler daughter. Their names are Araceli (she goes by Ara) and Cleo (pron. Cl-EH-o). WDYT? I wouldn't necessarily use these names but I think they're rather nice.

I have a classmate with the name CleoShe's an okay person, extremely smart, but I couldn't give my kid her name. She has such a strong personality it'd be impossible for me to think of the name without having her come up in my head. Clio I think is much cuter, and it's the name of a muse. Araceli is cute.

I've loved Araceli for awhile now. I even came across a little girl named Aracelia which is nice too but perhaps a little too fussy for my tastes. I should love Cleo. After all, I adore Leo. It's okay -- I don't dislike it in any way but don't love it either.

I adore both names and would use them (but Araceli prob. only in Spain).

Araceli's been on my PNL for years. It's one of the most beautiful names I can think of. Ara's a really sweet nn. I don't care for Cleo.

I really like Araceli, spelled like this and not Aracely. But Cleo is not really my style, sounds like short for Cleopatra and I certainly wouldn't name my daughter after her...

I've always liked Araceli. Cleo sounds more like a cat's name than a human's name, but it's definitely interesting.

I know a girl named Araceli (she has a twin but I don't remember her name). I love it, it's a very pretty name. Ara is cool nickname. Cleo is alright, but not for me. Though I do agree it's nice and I like it better than a lot of other names.
