I think it's overused. It reminds me of names like Sophie, Ava, Emma, Ella, Bella, etc.
It also looks pretty weird when you think about it. It's common now but I remember Toni Morrison's birth name was Chloe and she changed it because nobody knew how to pronounce Chloe at the time. They always said Klo or Chlo or Schlo or something.

I love it. I think It’s cute and girly, spunky and fun. I’ve literally never even met a child Chloe, only an adult Chloe.
My only impression is from her... She was super sweet, very hippy-ish, lived in a tent and had dreads, but literally the sweetest person you’d ever meet.
I guess I don’t think it’s tired or overused, because I’ve never known any except one.
My favorite spelling is Chloe.

Ugly and boring no offense to our friend Chloe who chose her own name. I like the meaning.

I think it’s quite nice, but a mean girl’s name for some reason. I imagine a british schoolgirl called Chloe who carries a fake designer handbag around with her everywhere.

I have actually always secretly liked this name. I remember my mom going on about how much she hated it when I was growing up, so it always felt kind of taboo, but I think its sound is cute and appealing. I like Zoe too, but if you strip Chloe of all its baggage, I think I like it more. I feel about Chloe a bit like I feel about Lily and Caitlin; I wouldn't actually use these names because I cannot help but associate them with contemporary overuse and spoiled little suburban princesses, but I think they're pretty nonetheless.

I've never liked it. It sounds like a loud, wet, messy nose-blowing.

It’s okay, but it’s too cutesy and overused for me personally. I know there are lots of adult women with the name, but it feels very perpetual-toddler to me.

I still kind of like it. The meaning is nice and it has a spring-like feel to it. However, it has been overdone. It also fell from grace really quickly, in the US at least. Stayed popular for a much shorter time than I expected.
It does have a good image, in my opinion. I think of spring, green and white. I think of nice handbags and a pleasant person.
But that is only true for Chloe. Khloe looks awful and trashy/tacky, Cloe and Kloe look silly too.

Chloe is rather unappreciated - not in terms of popularity, but its overall image. It’s youthful, sweet, has a lovely meaning and is much older than many people think. It’s a bit upsetting to see it grouped with names like Kimberly, Kaylee and Caitlin just because it’s gotten popular with the younger generation. I kinda feel bad for it, in a way, to see its ancient history go ignored and just be assumed as another trendy modern name (same with Zoe).
Khloe is horrendous, though.
Chloe Elettra
Chloe Lucille
Chloe Saveria
Chloe Odette
Chloe Soleil
Chloe Alessia
Chloe Estelle
(For the record, no, it’s not actually my name, contrary to some of the things I posted in the past)

It seems like the use (or overuse) of Chloe is regional. I have never met a single Chloe in real life (born '91) - none of my classmates had the name, none had sisters with the name... This is why it has never seemed "tired" to me, personally.
I will say, though, that my step-siblings grew up in the county west of me, where the suburbs start to sprawl a little more and... well, I'll just come out and say it: the population is significantly whiter. And there were five Chloes in my stepsister's class in the yearbook. (This same thing happened with Courtney: never personally went to school with a single one, but in the next county over there were Courtneys galore.)

Agreed. I have met one Chloe in my life (1990 baby) and it was the English name chosen by a Chinese student I had in China.
So it still feels fresh to me. I love the meaning, "green shoots" it makes me think of springtime.

The regional thing makes sense.
In England and Wales (where I am!) it was the number one name for girls for six years running!
