1. I think it's a bit of a
Madonna name; there's
one Cleopatra, and everyone else sounds a bit silly with the name. You need some serious style to pull this one off. I do, however, love
Cleo, Clea (CLEE-ah), Cleone (CLEE-oh-nee), and Cleona (clee-OH-nah).
Cleopatra's nice--I won't fault that--but I do wonder if it's a bit much as a first name. It offers
Cleo, Pattie/Patti/Patty, and
Pat as "grown up" nickname options, which
does make it more useable, IMO. Perhaps as a middle name? You could still call her by it--she could totally be, like, J.
Cleopatra Stills, but if she wasn't comfortable with
Cleo, she could go by her first name.
2. The reaction would depend where you live, I suspect. If you're surrounded by Jacobs and Emilys, I think that little
Cleopatra could have some difficulties with her name. If she's growing up with other kids who have more unusual names, it might work out better for her.
