on the name Cleo...
We are totally stuck. We both really like Priya but DH doesn't want two P names, or for people to look at her funny if she has blonde hair/blue eyes/fair skin and an Indian name
So what do you think of Cleo? Does it go with Parker? I can see it on an 'older' person, but I'm not sure about a child?
Thanks
I know someone who called their DD Cleo. She is 2 and it really suits her. It's not a name I'd ever heard used before actually. She is a fair/strawberry blonde child.
I really like it and think it sounds lovely when said with Parker.
Even tho Cleo Parker does have a nice ring to it, I am actually not a big fan of the name Cleo - sorry.:hide: It's the type of name for me that sounds "unfinished" IYKWIM? Almost like it should be a nickname to a longer name.
Cleo Parker is a perfect fit!!! I love it!
Priya Parker is really pretty too though! And I don't think it being an Indian name matters at all. My name is French and I am as Australian bogan as they come.. :lol:
Hmmm, it's more of a magazine name to me! Yes, I read it a lot in my teenage years :lol:
I think it goes well with Parker but I'm not a huge fan. I like your other choice much more. Having two 'P' names is fine and I wouldn't be at all concerned if she had fair hair, etc. That's like saying a little Asian girl shouldn't be called Jane, IYKWIM.
Go with your first choice, it's pretty and so different :)
Thanks girls! I probably should have clarified that Parker is DS...
*Ang* - I too think it sounds unfinished at times, which is why I wanted some opinions.... although I like the fact you can't really shorten it! DH's parents are wonderful at doing that :wall:
I love it. It would actually be on my list, but friends of ours have a Clio.
I really like it! Parker and Cleo sound lovely together too :)

I know a Cleo and I really like it.
I quite like Cleo, its such a lovely unique name. I knew a Cleo in high school and she was really lovely. I also think Cleo and Parker work well together x

I love Cleo! We decided on the way to hospital that if ds was a girl we would name her Cleo, but out popped ds instead!
There is a fair haired Priya in our street. Just sayin.
I like Cleo.
Also, if you like Priya, what about Thea? That's a cool little name that I love.
I prefer Priya over Cleo.
I know a gorgeous little Priya with the blondest hair and bluest eyes. Parker sounds good with both of them and I think both go well with your surname too chicky xo
I love the name Cleo!
My cousin has a little girl Cleo and omg she is the cutest little thing!! Definitely a name that suits all ages, I love it!
I like Priya, it's cute. Cleo is nice too though but I prefer Priya.
I really like it.
It's very pretty. I like it!
I know a Cleo who is about 1 - she is adorable and her name suits her too.
I love the name Cleo. I know a little girl called Cleo, she is just beautiful.
I prefer Priya to Cleo but don't think it goes as well with Parker as Cleo does.
I like Cleo and I think it sounds nice with Parker
I like it :)
Sorry love....not a fan over here, it could have something to do with the fact that DH had a stripper called Cleo at his bucks night !
Love Cleo babes! :heartbeat:
Priya sounds quite exotic and I'm not a fan..
i think Cleo & Parker sound nice together.
How do u pronounce Priya?
Like Mia, but with Pr:
Yeah that, the Cleo i knew in high school was beautiful inside and out :) It's a beautiful name but i can't use it cos i have a sister named Chloe and apparently they're "practically the same name" lol:
Dh likes Chloe, but I'm not convinced, so maybe Cleo is a good middle ground :):
