Hi! My husband and I don’t agree on many names! But he likes Chloe!
We like short, sweet, feminine sounding names I’m just not feeling like others love the name. I know this shouldn’t matter. My sis says it’s a cat name which it is a popular animal name. I’m on the BabyCenter blog and a lot of commenters seem to dislike the sound of the name. I love it and think it sounds timeless and feminine. I love the meaning of it too( little green shoot, or blooming) and it’s also a biblical name so it’s been around forever.
I have a Lily and a Grant so Chloe would go pretty well. We’re thinking Chloe Anne or Chloe Annabel as a family name. Opinions are welcome. Thank you! Also we have a 3 syllable last name.
Other names on our list:
Rachel Anne ( initials would be RAG)
Anna Claire
Claire Annabel
Charlotte Anne

I love the name Chloe.

I like your names. I would go for Chloe Rachel.

Ribbonsonabox · 12/03/2019 19:46

I think Chloe is lovely! I'd go with Chloe Anne.

I prefer Rachel and Anna. What about Cleo? Less "sweet" than Chloe.

Well, I have a relative who is Chloe Ann. She is a bit older and named before it became quite as popular as it has been in recent years.

Love it!

BlueDotty · 12/03/2019 19:39

It sounds like you talked yourself into it! My Chloe is 21! Still love it and so does she!

We have a chloe. I must admit, i liked it but iit was my husband who loved it. We had already used Jasmine for our first dd, which was my preference! Anyway, I now love it and it really suits her. Such a pretty, classic name. I wouldn't worry too much what anyone else thinks...It's whether you like it that matters!

I think Chloe is a very pretty timeless name. However you will get people saying it's very nineties. These people lack imagination.

Same with Claire (which I also love but personally slightly prefer the spelling Clare). Only then people with say it's very seventies/eighties. But both Chloe and Cla(i)re are lovely names. Cat name! What rubbish your sister is talking. Some pet owners give their animals human names, that's all.

Anna is also gorgeous, very classic.

Quite like Rachel and Charlotte too, but the others would be my favourites.

I think it's a lovely name ... which is why I named my daughter it nearly 13 years ago 🤣👍❤️

WallisFrizz · 12/03/2019 19:34

We clearly have the same taste in names as I already have an Anna Rachel!

I like Chloe, not love it but if it was the only one we could agree on, I’d be happy.

I think it suits you style going by your other two DC names.
They sound good as a set of siblings.
