Cleopatra was some rich woman in the ancient Egyptian times. I don't know anything about her because I don’t pay attention to stuff in history class.
"Cleopatra" is the title of the second album from The Lumineers, the American folk rock band. It's also the title of one of their songs from said album, and one of the catchiest ones.
A gynecological book written in the 2nd C. AD is attributed to a Cleopatra, however, the actual author may be unknown and the patron for the book may have been Queen Cleopatra.
Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator was a brilliant queen. Do you really think anyone would CHOOSE to marry their little brother? No, of course not, it wasn't her call, so get over it. Also, keep in mind that everything people know about her was written by her enemies, so the history they have of her does have a negative taint. She was a brilliant, strong, and charming queen who did everything she could for her people. She would be an amazing namesake for any little girl, but I do agree that it's a kind of "out there" name. Perhaps better as a middle name.

Also, Beyoncé played Foxxy Cleopatra in 'Austin Powers: Goldmember'.
First, Cleopatra VII (actually VI) was the most beloved Ptolomaic ruler of the Egyptians, brilliant and charming (but not beautiful, unlike popular opinion). She was forced to marry her 2 brothers; incest was normal for Ptolomies. The first brother started a war against her and forced her into exile. Who knows about #2. Compared to her ancestors, she was relatively mild. Octavian declared war against her "for her acts", conveniently unspecified. The war was against her lover and his co-ruler Antony. She came into power at the worst possible time, and actually did much better than her father in political arena.
Cleopatra VII was probably not likely to have used an asp to kill herself. The snake was probably put into the myth by Augustus for propaganda and imagery purposes.
In relation to the negative comments about the name Cleopatra. For one, she married and slept with her brothers each in turn before killing them. They were 12 and 10 respectively. That adds up to Incest, Pedophilia, and Murder. Sounds lovely doesn't it. She was also a harsh and pompous queen, one who slept around. What a legacy to put on your daughter's shoulders.
Just because one person bears a name doesn't make all those after it named after them. I would never name my child after Michael Jackson, yet still Michael is a very popular name and has been for a long time.
