Re: Cleo

I love Cleo, I think it sounds really smart and edgy. I'd totally use it, too, even though my own name is Chloe.
I guess Cleo's one detraction is that it's pretty firmly established as a cat name where I'm from - I've known several cat Cleos. That wouldn't stop me, but I know it would get some funny looks. I think the "Miss Cleo" jokes have pretty much died down now though, at least.
When I was changing my name, I had it narrowed down to Chloe or Cleo/Clio, and I just didn't think I could pull off Cleo. But when I went to Jamaica, I got to live out my Cleo dreams because for the life of them the staff at the resort could not say my name properly, and I became "Cleo Katrina" there. I still really like that combo :)
