HelpRe: Cleopatra
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
I interpret the meaning basically like, 'celebration of this family's honor/power/history/greatness/fame'. I think it's fair to assume choosing that meaning's vain, but it's not necessarily shallow; I don't think it's worse than calling a kid Jr. And more likely I'd attribute its use to someone being a history nerd than to its literal original meaning.
Or, it's like Gloria but with less of a religious/Christian connotation, and I like Gloria. I'd also say it's like a funkier, more eccentric Cassandra / Alexandria.
I think I'm in the minority here in that I prefer Cleopatra to Cleo / Clio. It seems more grounded and personable.
I'm also a fan of Sosipatra; that's one I'd be fine with using, though would most likely prefer as a MN.
