I've always liked it a lot. When I was in junior high a friend and I "made up" the name Cleia, pronounced the same. I never knew it was a real name until I was an adult. My friend ended up naming her daughter Cleia Alana many years later.

Clea is ok, like Cleo and Clio in a girl.

I prefer Clio / Klio :-)

It might be noteworthy that in Britain, the losers from the programme "Pop Idol" (or was it "Popstars"? Anyway ...) formed a group called Clea (CLEE-a) that lasted for about three minutes :-/ It represented the four members' initials - C, L, E and A - although Aimee is the only of of the names I can remember.

I'm sorry, but it is almost like flea, and that kills the name for me :-( otherwise it would be nice. if you like Cleo and Clea, WDYT of Celia?

I don't quite like the Cl- sound....sorry!

Reminds me of Cleopatra. I kind of like it. When I was in fourth grade, I made up the name Cleotra. Anyway, I think I made it up. So Clea is along those same lines. I almost like Cleo better though.

I like the name Clea. Would you pronounce that "Clay" or "Clay-ah?" I like either one. Maybe the second a little better. Don't have much experience with that name.

It's pretty. I also like the sound, but I would prefer Cleo or Clio. Clio is lovely for a girl - it's in fact very feminine, as it was a muse in Greek mythology, and all the muses were female.

If you like the K/L sound combination, why not Killian/Kilian for a boy (there was actually a medieval Celtic saint of this name, so it's not "kree8tif") And maybe "Kiliana" for a girl?

It's not my style, but it's not awful either. However, no offense but I'm convinced that a girl called Clea would be bound to be called 'clitoris' at some point of her life. That's how fate works.
