Chloe Ann flows better but Anna IMO is perhaps a nicer name than Chloe.

Bert2e · 15/09/2015 19:16

Anna is wonderful and very underused - unless Frozen has sparked a frenzy. I'm not keen on Chloe at all - far too popular.

NadiaWadia · 15/09/2015 19:23

Why Chloe Ann and not Chloe Anna?

I would choose Anna Chloe as Anna is one of my favourite names ever. I do like Chloe too, though, very pretty. A lovely combination.

I actually think Anna Chloe flows better too. Because with Chloe Ann, as the first name ends with a vowel and so does the beginning of the next name you have to be careful they don't run into one another as you say them - like Chloeyann.

Anna Chloe

Chloe Ann flows better. But unless you're planning on using both names all the time I don't think it matters too much and so I'd choose my fave as a first name - which is Ann.

Chloe Ann. Anna Chloe doesn't even flow, plus there are not many little Chloes about now

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 15/09/2015 20:06

Chloe Anna is nice as well

mrsschu · 15/09/2015 20:14

Anna is much nicer than Chloe, also more timeless. The "flow" is not especially important IMO as people rarely, if ever, use their Middle names.

Sophronia · 15/09/2015 20:29

Definitely Anna Chloe.

NadiaWadia · 15/09/2015 20:47

Anna Chloe does flow - why wouldn't it?

On the other hand Chloe Ann will end up sounding like Chloe Yann. Just like Anna Emily will end up Anna Remily.

Anna Chloe

Chloe Ann sounds lovely Smile

daisydalrymple · 15/09/2015 21:23

Anna Chloe.

As an aside, as a child of the 70s, with a very popular of it's time Middle name, you did of course mean AnnE, not Ann didn't you Wink

Giraffe5 · 15/09/2015 21:28

No I meant Ann, not Anne

Chloe Ann

squoosh · 16/09/2015 13:27

It pains me to see the name Anne being desecrated by having the E lobbed off.

EmmaWoodlouse · 16/09/2015 14:05

I prefer Anne with an E too, but I think I slightly prefer Anna Chloe overall.

SmugairleRoin · 16/09/2015 17:09

I'm with you on that squoosh!

Giraffe5 · 16/09/2015 18:07

Ann was my late mothers name. I'm quite offended by your comment squoosh! It's not a misspelling, it's an alternative way of spelling Ann

squoosh · 16/09/2015 18:09

Sorry Giraffe.

Giraffe5 · 16/09/2015 18:10

Desecrated because I've chosen an alternative spelling!

OP posts:
squoosh · 16/09/2015 18:11

But why isn't Ann on the list of possible first names?

Giraffe5 · 16/09/2015 18:23

Because it is my daughters middle name and I prefer Anna as a possible first name to make it slightly different

OP posts:
squoosh · 16/09/2015 18:51

I see. Well anyway didn't mean to offend it's just I read Anne of Green Gables a bazillion times as a child so the 'Anne with an e' message stuck with me ever since!

Giraffe5 · 16/09/2015 19:00

Ok no worries.
