In and of itself, I think it's a pretty name. But why stick a child with a name that is so loaded with negative meaning, and just begging to be joked about?
more things than I can count- yeah?

ReplyDeleteDon't see any schoolyard bullying problems with cleopatra...
ReplyDeleteWould be a nice middle name but a not-so-nice first name.
