Chloe Isabella...?

It's for my friend who is nearly due and would like opinions, without telling lots of people in real life!

Thank you Smile

I rather like it, and know no one - old or young - with either name.

Like it. Chloe less popular than Isabelle so a good way round imo.

Thank you all. They don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl but haven't decided on anything for a boy yet!

I wanted a Chloe but we didn't think DS1 would have appreciated it!

Lovely name, shame I didn't get to use it. Perhaps I'll use it for my next cat ...

I really like Chloe, it's a lovely name, not so keen on Isabella, there are a lot more Isabella's than Chloe's around here.

Like the Chloe part; Isabella feels frilly and faddy to me. Much prefer Isobel if she's really keen on that family of names.

Not keen on Chloe, really like Isabella. Know a little girl Isabella who goes by the name Bel. It's an ageless name for me, suits a baby, child and an adult.
I find it hard to think of a 30 year old Chloe. That's just me though!

Both popular but for a good reason. There are 10 girls at DDs preschool and 3 of them are Chloe. It's still a lovely name.

Both nice names.

I haven't met a single Chloe. There's lots of Isabella / Isabel's around where I live though.

I'm not keen sorry.

Chloe: reminds me of 'clammy'

Isabella: can see why it's popular, to me it's frilly, faddy, and will date. Much prefer Isobel.

They're lovely names and go well together.

Much prefer Isabella to Chloe. But that's because a horrid little girl called Chloe bullied my DD.

I'm a 30(ish) year old Chloe! Have always loved my name as it wasn't common yet not anything I could be teased for. I only ever knew one other when at school, I work with one in her early 20s and I teach one (7) now. Never shortened to anything by family or friends so no worries on that front.

Love Isabella but dislike Chloe.

Ah! Sorry Guavas, nothing personal against the name! And i'm glad you love your name, have always hated mine! :)
