I don't like either one. They sound as if they are names for some body parts. But I'm not going to be any more specific.

I dislike them both, but Cliona looks anatomical, so I'd prefer Cleora. IRL I'd prefer Laura, Deborah, Nora(h) or even Cleone.

CleoraI agree with Amphelise that Cliona is too much like "cleaner" - even though it isn't a match in my accent, I still thought of it immediately.
(I'm assuming it's "CLEE-na," like Catriona is Katrina. If I didn't know that I might have thought "clee-OH-na" ... but I still would have liked Cleora better)I like Cleora pronounced as "clay-OR-a" rather than "clee-OR-a." But "clee-OR-a" is okay.

ClionaNormally I prefer Cleo- names but Cliona sounds more natural, Cleora is awkward

I like Cleora, it's weirder.

I don’t like Cliona, because in my accent it’s indistinguishable from the word ‘cleaner’ (KLEE-nuh). If it were klee-OH-nuh I might like it better, but it’s not.So, Cleora I guess.
