I like it better than Cleo as well. Clio is young and lively and happy. Cleo makes me think of an elderly lady or a lazy cat ;)
I prefer Clio.

I named my cat Clio. I'd looked up Greek mythology names on this website previously and then I saw her and the name just felt right. Also, quite unique where we live, even for a pet.

It is true that the original version of the name and the muse, Kleio, is pronounced KLY-o in Greek.
But the newer version Clio is pronounced KLEE-o.

I have to say that the previous OP is wrong about the pronunciation. It is indeed said "KLEE-oh", not "KLY-oh".

There aren't to many feminine names ending in O that 'work' in English. And this is in my opinion is the most feminine sounding one of them. I prefer this spelling because I love the mythology connection to it, and it seems more of a stand alone name while Cleo always look more like a nickname for Cleopatra.

Italian pronunciation:
KLEE-Oh
An "L" after a "C" creates a hard "K." The "I" in "Li" is stressed to "EE." "O" is as usual, "Oh." [noted -ed]

I really like this name. It’s original, pretty and unique, but no too out-there. Clio is great alternative to the overused Chloe. The only reason I wouldn’t use it as a legit name is because of the Renault Clio. Not that it’s a bad car, but I wouldn’t want people to think that I’d named my child after it. So, I would use Clio as a nickname for the gorgeous name Clíona.
