What do you think of the name chloe? Honest opinions please. Our baby is as yet unnamed and we can’t agree

I like it.

MikeUniformMike · 11/06/2018 14:11

The name is very nice or at least it was about 20 years ago when it was fairly unusual. It became massively popular so has already peaked.
I would be put off by how it sounds in some regional accents, and by the shortening to Chlo.
If you love the name use it.

BabloHoney · 11/06/2018 14:16

Love Chloe, it’s beautiful

Blazinghotmonkey · 11/06/2018 14:18

I find it a little dated but it is a perfectly reasonable name and you should go for it if you and your OH like it :)

villainousbroodmare · 11/06/2018 14:19

I personally find it rather sickly sweet. Not sure if it's because it reminds me of the word 'cloying'. Surprisingly popular dog name of invariably spoiled dogs. I infinitely prefer Cleo.

Wobblebeans · 11/06/2018 14:23

I like it, it's 9yr old DD1s name. Although, before we had her, I never liked it because it seemed too 'popular'. I only know of one other Chloe in her school though so maybe not.

MikeUniformMike · 11/06/2018 14:25

It makes me think of cloying too or Claw-y. Zoe is much nicer.

DramaAlpaca · 11/06/2018 14:28

It's fine. Unremarkable and perfectly nice. If you both love it, go for it.

Cadencia · 11/06/2018 14:31

I really like it! I know two (an 8yo and an adult), so it's not too popular either.

HeyMicky · 11/06/2018 14:34

It's very nice. It's top 20 though so quite popular

TwinkleTee · 11/06/2018 14:40

I have an 8 day old Chloe lying asleep next to me. I think its safe to say that I love the name :)

NoNamesLeft86 · 11/06/2018 14:43

I love the name. My cat (before children) was called Chloe and if it hadn't been for her than my daughter would have been Chloe.

Peachbubble · 11/06/2018 14:47

I like it

MollyHuaCha · 11/06/2018 14:52

As a pp said, it's nice in some accents and not nice in others.

I like it in my own accent. Try out the name yourself in these accents:
RP
Estuary
Manchester
Liverpool
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Cornish
Southern Wales
New York
Mississippi
California
French person speaking English
German person speaking English

Sophronia · 11/06/2018 15:40

It’s a bit 90s.

spotspot · 11/06/2018 15:44

I really like it. My friends baby is called Chloe and it's brilliant. I find it refreshing: I don't know any child/baby Chloes apart from her.

FrogPie · 11/06/2018 15:46

Great name, OP ;)

bellanotte22 · 11/06/2018 15:46

There's a lot of Chloes where I live. This alone would put me off but it has a lovely meaning so if you love it, go for it.

MatildaLovesBooks · 11/06/2018 15:47

Very bland and stuck in the 90s (sorry).

Pemba · 11/06/2018 15:49

It's a lovely name. Just because it was ultra-popular 20-30 years ago doesn't stop it being lovely. Much nicer than some of the names that are so popular now, eg. Isla, Florence.

BorisHair · 11/06/2018 16:08

I don't dislike it but I know 3 x Chloes in DC's year at school, 1 x grown up Chloe and 2 x Chloe cats so it's popular here.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 11/06/2018 16:16

Love it!

cptartapp · 11/06/2018 16:19

Pretty but rather dated.

Mollie85 · 11/06/2018 16:55

As another poster said - pretty but unremarkable... in the 90s, about four of the kids I babysat were Chloe’s, so I feel it’s a bit dated, but if you love it- use it Grin

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 11/06/2018 17:05

I do like the name but agree that it's dated sadly.
