I never liked this name. It sounds stupid and old fashioned.-- dmforsythe 12/22/2005
I love this name. I think it's odd that it is not more popular!-- Anonymous User 12/23/2005
"That it's not more popular"?! How much more popular do you want it to be!? Check the popularity list for Chloe.
Author and baby name guru Linda Rosenkrantz has a daughter named Chloe.-- Anonymous User 1/25/2006
I was simply going by the fact that in my entire life, I have only met one person (the daugter of someone I know) with that name. That said, I do believe it is becoming too popular, and could very well loose it's 'cache'.-- Anonymous User 6/30/2006
This name sounds exotic and cool.-- funnygirl 1/16/2006

Ever since I have heard of this name, I have loved it. It isn't in my opinion pronounced the way it is spelled, which makes the name to me even more intriguing. It's a very hip & chic name. I love it.-- JMagickPrincess 4/13/2006
Far too popular.-- Smog 4/18/2006
Chloe is a beautiful name. It is definitely rising in popularity. I don't personally know even one Chloe and haven't seen many in my kids' school.-- Anonymous User 4/25/2006
This name is cutesy.-- Anonymous User 5/2/2006
Chloë Agnew is an Irish vocalist.-- Melusine 5/5/2006
Chloe Lane is a character on the soap opera Days of our Lives. It's a cutesy name for a pet. I know a cat named Chloe.-- ADT 6/19/2006
I would never use this name, it's far too popular now. It's also way too cutesy sounding. I cannot imagine being a grown, mature woman with this name.-- Anonymous User 7/16/2006
I have to say that this name is truly a disgrace! Doesn't it just SCREAM clown to you? This name is bromidic, lacks originality and definitely cannot grow with your child. Why won't you monotonous people use something beautiful like Gaia, Athena, Ariadne and Persephone? They are all Greek mythological names, plus sound WAY better than this disingenuous fad to the moon and back! Anyone care to challenge me, be my guest.-- Starla-Marie_1993 8/5/2006
Apologies for the above comment, but this name has really begun to grow on me, and I have no idea why! Just one of those cutsy names, I presume, that you can't completely loathe, just like Emily!-- Starla-Marie_1993 10/13/2006
Nicknames could be Coco, Lola, Lolly, Lolo, Clo or Clio.-- Anonymous User 8/28/2006
I like this name, though I always associate it with the Days of Our Lives character (which isn't necessarily a bad thing.) Because of that, I tend to see it as an elegant, mature name, rather than cutesy.-- Iridosmine 10/17/2006
It's such a pretty and cute name! I just adore it.-- Anonymous User 10/23/2006
There also exists the written form "Clohe" which I heard people pronouncing "klo-hee".-- Anonymous User 10/25/2006
This spelling is so much nicer than Cloe.-- bellaboo 11/12/2006
This classical name, like Emily, has been mauled by popularity. So many people bear it it is actually refreshing to hear something different: even if it is not a classic. Just for once I'd love to hear of a kid given a name that is slightly unusual and not following the current trend of the day.-- Anonymous User 1/15/2007
I like the name Chloe. I like names that are short and sweet :)-- EgYpTiAn PrInCeSs 1/17/2007
This is my name and, to be honest, I'm not wild about it. I would much rather have been called something like Judith or Ariadne. I know someone who has the same name but spells it as 'Kloe' which I think is a very unattractive spelling.-- little_sootball 1/19/2007
I disagree with the people who think this name cannot grow with a child. Although it does have a sweet, youthful tone, I think it is also extremely elegant. I have met an elderly woman named Chloe, and I thought it was perfect for her. The unfortunate thing is that this name is so popular. I could never feel justified in giving a child a name that so many other people have.-- black_lace 1/29/2007
This is my name and I was born long before the name became popular. I have only met one other person my age with the name and that was when I was a little girl.-- Druid 2/13/2007
I really like the name, and think it's cute and sweet. But, if I think about this name for a bit, I start thinking that the combination of the OE sound and the EE sound make the name have a strange quality. Like something is muddy, someone is Chloe. The same is true for Zoe.-- norah_girl 2/21/2007
Chloe is a nice name, but I'm not sure about what ethnic name it is used for most often.-- Emma McHnery 2/23/2007
I have four daughters and my second daughter is named Chloe and her middle name is Emma. I chose her name because it suits people of any age and it sounds very soft and sweet.-- Anonymous User 3/1/2007
Chloe is the name of one of the original Bratz dolls.-- flipflops5 3/3/2007
There was a rather corny popular song about a man who searched through the swamps for a woman named Chloë.
There is also a rather amusing limerick:
For the tenth time, dull Daphnis, said Chloë,
You have told me my bosom is snoë.
You have made such fine verse on
Each part of my person;
Now do something!
There's a good boë!-- Kosta 4/6/2007
This is my name, and all of you who said you hate are going a little overboard. My opinion.-- truepinklover 4/8/2007
I really like this name, I have a cousin named Chloe. I think even though it's been used for quite a while now it's still quite a modern name.-- Anonymous User 4/9/2007
This name is so cute, but I don't like the spelling much. It looks a bit ugly to me, and yet I can't think of many possible variations that are any better.-- Anonymous User 6/9/2007
It's my name {as u can tell by my user name}. I really like it, I think it's a great name and can be very mature but youthful.-- chloeellen 6/25/2007
Recently, after hearing this name on the news, I really began to love it! It is not very popular in my area, which makes it all the more attractive. I think there is one Chloe in the whole of my sister's elementary school, which holds around 500 or so children. It has an undeniably cute sound, and is somehow intriguing, elegant, and girlish all at once.-- Pheadirean 6/27/2007
Personally, I love the name, I have only met a single person bearing that name. And she tells me it's pronounced KLOH-AY, even though there is no accent above the e. I think both Chloe & Chloé are beautiful names.-- SingingDove114 8/17/2007
I think it is sweet sounding, but seems far too youthful. I think that spelling it with the trema/diareses (Chloë) not only makes it sound more mature, but also hints that it is not pronounced "Chlo" to the uninformed. :-)-- mhavril39 9/24/2007
Awful, trendoid name. 5 million stupid couples giving their kid this name so their little brat will seem exotic and French. Blech!-- johann14 9/25/2007
The origin of the name Chloe is Greek and means "green shoot" (or something close) so I have no idea where you got the idea that it is French other than the fashion label.-- livieluvbug 11/30/2007
I think Chloe is a beautiful name (as it is mine). It is beautiful also in older ladies. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just narrow minded.-- Anonymous User 9/30/2007
Chloe is a beautiful and classy name. Its meaning is nice, and it has thousands of years of history! Still some people say parents are morons for naming their kids like that. What a pity.-- Anonymous User 10/29/2007
When pronounced with a Japanese accent, Chloe tends to sound like "kuroi", or the color black. In that sense it sounds kind of cute. Opens up quite a few puns and wordplay.-- Daisee 11/9/2007
I would use this name, but it sounds too ethnic. Maybe if I lived in Ireland, I would use it. Chole is sweet, but I wouldn't use it.-- Emma McHnery 11/13/2007
This is the most popular name for female dogs in the US.-- pandasayscynical 11/18/2007
My best friend's name is Chloe and that's the only person I know or have heard of (other than the designer) with this name. So I don't see how it's too popular. Of course now that I said that it will become the next Ashley (eww). It reminds me of the goddess Zoe, which in turn makes me think of strength. So I totally disagree with the previous commentors that say that it is too "cutesy". I love my amazing friend's name.-- livieluvbug 11/30/2007
I don't know any actual person named Chloe so I'm not sure where everyone comes with the common thing. This is gonna be my little girl's name for sure.-- Jennabwah 12/19/2007
This is my name and to be honest, I would have much preferred to be called something more traditional, like Elizabeth or Victoria. It's just too common now and a bit stereotyped, plus a lot of people misspell it, which is irritating.-- Steren 12/23/2007
Chloe was a woman, a Christian, of either Corinth or Ephesus. Writing to the Corinthians from Ephesus, Paul noted that he had heard of dissension in their church from "Chloe's people" (1 Corinthians 1:11). Chloe is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible.-- Patricia Underwood 1/21/2008
The spelling with the Diaeresis is the French form of this name, which is pronounced as [xlɔe'] rather than [klɔ:wi] as in English. This name is not French, though when I was younger, I thought it was.
I believe it bears some relationship to the name Chloris, as the first four letters are the same and both have some relation to the colour green, though I am entirely uncertain as per their actual deriviation.-- Bastien Rosier 2/29/2008
I forgot to mention in the previous comment that this is a lovely name, though it is a bit short and might need the accompanyment of something a little longer. Perhaps Chloe Maria or Chloe Alexandra. The second name should presumably end with an a.
I would definitely name my daughter this, though I have never before met an actual Chloe and I think it is rare where I live (North Carolina).
Just a thought: If one wishes to mention that a name is common or rare where one lives, a notation of where that is would not be amiss.-- Bastien Rosier 2/29/2008
Sounds too cutesy and childish.-- jasmineenimsaj 3/2/2008
The name Chloe makes me picture a young, slender, pale woman with sandy-colored hair down to her chin line who has light eyes and wears little or no make-up, dresses in white, light pink, light blue, and other light colors, and looks a little untouchable and unapproachable, like she's not fully human. She looks very neat and clean, and looks like she could use a proper meal and something to put a smile on her serious face. The name sounds much softer than Zoë, but I'm not big on the ''OH-ee'' sound.-- slight night shiver 5/18/2008
Actually, even WITH the Diaeresis, the name is still pronounced Chlo-ee. The Diaeresis only stresses the 'e' even more. I have a second cousin named Chloe', and people often call her klo-ay, because of the Diaeresis. I have a friend who is a college English professor, and even she agrees that the Diaeresis stresses the 'e' more, ergo, not making the name pronounced klo-ay. It's still chlo-ee.-- Anonymous User 5/20/2008
I think it's a lovely name, but I think it will, in time, become overly popular. I like it a lot but I think it'll head in the same direction as Ashley.-- Miss-Rory 5/23/2008
Chloe is cutesy, French and pretentious. It is liked only for its cliche beauty. I honestly can't imagine a real person with this name.-- gio2475 6/5/2008
I think the name Chloe is timeless. In my lifetime I have only met two Chloes. Should I have a girl, I would surely name her Chloe Elizabeth. Not to mention, Chloe is the name of a very nice smelling perfume!-- lillamb 6/18/2008
I'm surprised this name isn't French.
It'd be weird for me personally to meet a person named this, although it's pretty and sophisticated sounding, because I've only known two cats with the name my whole life, lol.-- not_another_Jessica 6/25/2008
In my opinion, one of the most pretentious names ever. It sounds like a name for a girl who is sort of harshly pretty and thinks she's above everyone else for no good reason.-- pandasayscynical 7/28/2008
I like the name. It seems elegant. Also, Chloe is not popular here in KY.-- RooRoo 8/31/2008
I've met a couple of Chloe's in my lifetime and they were all very nice people but I agree that it's too sweet. Reminds me of a pink cloud. Bleh. Or cotton candy.
You can't grow into it because it has nothing else to mature into. Even the similar name Zoë gives an air of uniqueness and an impression that what you see isn't always what you get.
But Chloe? Come on. It so predictable.-- Anonymous User 9/14/2008
I don't like the way this name is spelt. It makes me think of chlorine.-- Anonymous User 10/23/2008
Also means "young girl, young shoot" in Greek.-- Emilie007 11/1/2008
I'm sick of people putting down this name! It's my name and I'm proud of it. If people have nothing better to do but go around insulting people who have this name, then they're pretty pathetic. Grow up.-- Druid 11/1/2008
Mmmm, I REALLY like this name. It's solid to me, unique without being weird. It's beautiful without being presumptiously high and haughty. It's simple yet not at all boring. I've only met one Chloe who's a toddler, but undoubtedly with it's popularity once you name your daughter this, you will meet many many more. I think popular names are that for a reason though, many people appreciate them!-- mom2zeke 11/13/2008
I love the name Chloe! I have a 6 year old cousin that has this name, and it fits her very well. I can definitely see her growing with this name! So pretty!-- RachelLee 11/19/2008
I think this name sounds yucky. It always makes me think of an arrogant person. It just sounds really stupid.-- Dilara 12/31/2008
This is a Polish variant, too.-- Anonymous User 1/5/2009
Sounds yucky somehow to me.-- Anonymous User 1/10/2009
My name is Chloe and although I am still young, I have never had a problem with my name. I think it's cute. I have never met another Chloe in my life, but I worry that every little kid will be called Chloe and it will turn into the new Jessica. Sometimes people have had a problem with the spelling and how people pronounce it. I am often called Cho-lee, which is very annoying. Also, it's not a name you can easily come up with a nickname for.-- ChloeElizabeth 3/28/2009
I think the name Chloe sounds beautiful. It is my best friends name and she happens to be the only person I know with it. Some people do have a hard time pronouncing it but I think its a modern and classic name. My friend happens to be very edgy and out there but the name itself presents a more refined elegance and quietness in my opinion. For a nickname I call her Clo but I agree there aren't many choices.-- Anonymous User 5/13/2009
My name is Chloe. Honestly it's not that popular, and when I was like ten I hated this name. Now I like it more, and it is a bit of a hard name to carry, since every substitute teacher I've ever had has told me that their dog, car or hamster has this name. But I like it now, I think it sounds mature and really cool.-- Fearless817 5/14/2009
Chloe. I like the way it rolls off my tongue but it's just so darn popular!-- Lexi_Love14 7/6/2009
How could you not like this name? It is so cute and gorgeous at the same time!-- becca_marciano 8/10/2009
My cousin's name is Chloe, and I absolutely LOVE this name! Chloe is such a sweet name. =] Chloe is just an amazing name! =]-- --allison-- 8/17/2009
Chloe is good for those who are bored with all the other common names. If you wanna feel good, stand out (in a good way), and make a good impression, then this is the name for you or your child. It sounds wonderful. People like being expressive with their appearance, why not with your first name? Very cool.-- Anonymous User 8/21/2009
I always thought the name Chloe was cute. However, so many other people think so. As a result, this name is overused. I prefer the Italian form Cloe, despite it being unfortunately associated with a Bratz doll.-- bananarama 9/5/2009
Chloe is an extremely pretty name and one hundred years ago it was elegant, classy and very rare.
BUT unfortunately today it is not only horribly common, it is also most common amongst trashy families trying to sound better than they are. As a result, teenage Chloes today tend to be skanky little gutter-snipes.
It's sad, because they've ruined a really lovely name.-- Anonymous User 10/3/2009
Chloe... ugh. Years ago, my mothers friend told me she picked a unique name for her daughter, and then she told me she'd named her Chloe. This sounds like a name that someone who's TRYING to be unique, original and "cool" would name their kid.-- baybeekenzie 11/17/2009

I love Chloe pronounced Klo - AY.-- Jasmine 3/19/2007
I love the French form, and prefer it over the American pronunciation. Chloe for many sounds too cutesy, and reminds people of dogs, but Chloe (with an accent) sounds more sophisticated. I love the Chlo sound but I'm not wild about the e sound at the end, so I prefer Chlo-ay.-- bunnyfunny 2/8/2009
