Yes, I recently saw a little girl called [name_f]Albertine[/name_f] “Albie” on Instagram and I think the nickname could definitely work on its own for a girl.

Everyone’s always saying “unisex Brynmor!” “unisex Albie!” I admire those efforts, but where’s that same energy for making [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] unisex? It’s just [name_u]Berry[/name_u] favorite [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but with a C appended, so it would be great for a boy!

And [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] ends in the trendy -o ending a lot of boys names that are hot right now do, so I think it could be really cool on a boy

I know that it is used for girls, but I’m not sure whether or not it is used for boys too.
