Dido is just a childhood nickname I think. Her real name is Florian Cloud De Bounevialle Armstrong, bit of a mouthful to put on the front of a cd. Dido is a bit more managable

As listed in the legal records, her full birth name is just
Florian Cloud De Bounevialle Armstrong
. Some of the stories she tells in interviews make it clear that her mother called her Dido as a child (which she did not like btw). The fact that Dido is not her legal birth name does not really matter anyway, if her parents call her Dido, then Dido it is.
The original source of the name Dido is its use as a nickname for Elissa. (a queen of Carthage in Greco-Roman mythology). Prior to that usage Dido may have been the name of a pre-classical Greek goddess.

I always thought she was trying to be sexually provocative.
