HelpClelia
What are your opinions on these? Not neccessarily together, but individually?
Clelia's a name I've only recently discovered and am currently slightly in love with. It's derived from Cloelia (which I gather is pronounced something like klow-EE-lyah or klo-EL-yah, or basically like the name Chloe with a flourish on the end). Cloelia was an ancient Roman heroine. She was given to the Etruscans as a hostage as part of some sort of bargain, and she escaped, taking some other hostages with her, and swam across the Tiber River to get home. I think that makes for an awesome story and namesake. I prefer Clelia (which I believe is pronounced something like kleh-lee-ah), just because the the pronounciaton strikes me as being slightly less cumbersome. I like the idea of Clely as a nickname, which I saw in use when I was researching the name.
So, Cloelia? Clelia? Clely? What do you think?
