Re: Cleo
in reply to a message by A
To me Cleo is more the nn for Cleopatra. And that's what I don't like about it. I like the Cleo, but Cleopatra feels cheesey. I'd use Cleo as a nn for Clementine or something else. Or, Clio / Klio on its own.
As an Ann, I like the simplicity of my name. I've always prefered the Anne spelling. Andromeda is a cute nn, in a whimsical way. But I wouldn't feel the need to "dress up" Anne. If anything, her simplicity allows you to go to town with a GP mn. Anne Clothilde, Anne Theodosia, Anne Parthenia, etc. Or, you could go the other way around, use Andromeda as the formal name with Anne / Annie as a nn.
