  1. Ok

  2. My name is Cleo. I always loved having a unque name. People tend to remember it. Perhaps because you are always correcting them. Often called Chloe, Clare and Cleopatra.
    Diffinately not common or boring.

  3. I has to say I always get called Chloe but for me I don’t know why do they sound similar because they don’t anyway I love being called Cleo it’s a beautiful name and suits me all the time

  4. My names cleo and be prepared to be called chloe or asked is it short for cleopatra a million times. Otherwise love being called cleo

    • Me too, forever bring called Chloe but like you I love my name ?

  5. My great grandmother was named Cleo. I never met her but she did a wonderful job raising my grandfather. The name means “glory”.
