I love it! It's quite pretty.

I adore it! I was on my top 5 pretty consistently for a few months... Sort of forgot about it :)I think it will probably get misread as Celia a lot hit I think it's utterly gorgeous. Clelia Joyce is my go-to, combo wise

Clelia looks like a typo for Celia, which I prefer. Cloelia seems to have started off as four syllables, with the -oe- becoming an -e- much leter. But it's a very ancient name, so nothing is clear. The famous swimming Cloelia would be a glorious namesake!In today's world, it would be perceived as a fake and frilly version of Chloe, which I prefer.

Sorry, but I don't like it at all. It sounds clumsy and kind of sticky, it makes me think of clay.

I don't like either. The 'cl' combination is clunky - it doesn't flow off the tongue well. Cloelia is the better of the two though, because it seems easier to pronounce.

I prefer Cloelia, which is lushly sonorous, though Clelia also appeals to me.

I think Cloelia is more attractive and less intimidating to see, however, both are tongue twisters for me. That said, if I met one, I would probably think her name was cool. And, the more I say it, the easier it is. The pronunciation of Clelia is nicer imo.

I find Cloelia to be the more attractive of the two with Cloe or Elli as options for a more common nickname.

I really love Cloelia. Clelia is less beautiful somehow. But Cloelia is poetry.

Yikes, there is nothing attractive sounding to me about those names.

I love Clelia! Such a great, underused gem.
