Cleo Inara?

Girl Names
1

I can never ever find a middle name I love for [name]Cleo[/name]. Here are some
ideas…

  • [name]Cleo[/name] Inara
  • [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Amara[/name]
  • [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Xanthe[/name]

That is all I have. Suggestions?

Well I love [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Amaryllis[/name]. I love [name]Xanthe[/name], but it sounds choppy with [name]Cleo[/name]. What about [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Anthea[/name], [name]Athena[/name] or [name]Alethea[/name]?

[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Amara[/name] kind runs together, but it sounds nice.

[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Persephone[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Anabel[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name] Margeurite
[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Fenella[/name]

[name]Cleo[/name] Inara is pretty cool. It’s different and exotic, but easily pronounceable. [name]Amara[/name] seems a bit too contemporary next to [name]Cleo[/name], and [name]Xanthe[/name] just isn’t easily spelled and pronounced (not that this would be a HUGE concern for a middle name). My vote goes to [name]Cleo[/name] Inara.

…actually, now I’m looking it and wondering if I really do have the correct pronunciation. Is it INN-uh-ruh or inn-AWR-uh? I assume the second syllable is stressed, but I’m not sure! Maybe [name]Amara[/name] would be easier!

I really like [name]Cleo[/name] Inara. It’s simple and perfect.

It’s pronounced in-NAR-ah I believe.

Xanthe is kinda choppy and Amara does seem too contemporary for Cleo. From
the suggestions I like Athena, Emmeline, and Anabel. But my top two now are
Cleo Inara and Cleo Emmeline.

Other new ones I like are Cleo Melisande, Cleo Amabel, and Cleo Morgane.

I love [name]Cleo[/name]. I also like Inara but I think the double vowel combination (o-i) makes the flow between the two a bit awkward.

I love alliteration in names, so I would start by suggesting a mn with the hard C or K sound eg [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] (traditional) or [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Katinka[/name] (quirky).

I love [name]Cleo[/name] Inara!

Inara is a prostitute from the popular short-lived sci-fi series Firefly.

I prefer [name]Amara[/name] and I think [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Amara[/name] works just fine.

Yeah I suppose that’s true. Alliteration? Oooh I toy with that on
lists but I don’t know if I could seriously ever use one. If I had
to it would be [name]Cleo[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name].

[name]Imogen[/name]! Oh my god I have that on my list and never
thought of pairing it with [name]Cleo[/name]. [name]Vivian[/name] is my sister’s
name but it could work if she didn’t mind.

Great suggestions.

Yes, I know. Inara is also the name of a singer from The [name]Bird[/name] and the [name]Bee[/name].
Inara [name]George[/name] is just lovely, and a real person. Can’t forget about her because
of a character who was a prostitute on a sci-fi show that only lasted one
season. That prostitute was beautiful though.

Thank you ladies!!
