[Opinions] Re: Clelia
I remember reading about Cloelia just last week! I was reading Livy for one of my classes and he talked about her. *feels like school is finally relevant* :P
Anyway, I like the look of Cloelia better then Clelia. I'm not sure why, but Clelia looks a little more awkward IMO. Clely... also a bit awkward. Clo, Cleia (is this a stretch?), Clia, Lia?

I love it when school turns out to be relevant!I was pronouncing Clely basically as if it rhymed with Haley. The French form of the name is Clélie, which I believe is pronounced like that. There's a young Italian actress named Clelia who goes by Clely, and for some reason in my head I pronounced it the same as the French version of the name.I like the idea of Cleo has a nickname as well. Is that too much of a stretch?Thanks for your comment!
