Not really. You could.

What is Chloe like? Small, neat, a bit fussy. I think i knew her. She could equally voluptuous, wild, unruly.

OK, I'm convinced. Chloe is fine.

Be. The word 'be' is awol.

Good name - has remained popular for a long time across all demographics.

I don't love it but I like it.

Icecreamandapplepie · 17/02/2022 01:24

I love it

Zillamop · 17/02/2022 01:30

I like it.

RedCandyApple · 17/02/2022 01:31

Very pretty name

Ajl46 · 17/02/2022 01:54

I like it. It means young green shoot & symbolises fertility, new growth, spring time etc. From Wikipedia: "The common scientific prefix chloro- (e.g. chlorine and chloroplast) derives from the same Greek root. "

It’s ok.

Buddhabowl · 17/02/2022 08:40

Not keen on Chloe but it's just personal preference. Theres nothing wrong with it, I just find it a bit dated and uninspiring.

OrangeAndYellowAndBlue · 17/02/2022 09:12

Really like it. Sadly, doesn't work with our surname. Use it for me!

Blubells · 17/02/2022 09:17

I don't like it.

Isn't it spelled Chloé?

ISmellBurnings · 17/02/2022 09:29

I like it, it was very popular a few years back.

Plutoisaplanet · 17/02/2022 09:30

Not a fan.

DoodleBelle · 17/02/2022 09:32

Feels more like a mum name than a baby name now but there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s pretty sounding and well known.

SnakeLinguine · 17/02/2022 09:36

It feels very 90s and dated to me.

toastofthetown · 17/02/2022 09:37

Chloe feels very dated to me. It's one of those names (like Jessica, Emma Hannah, Abigail) that I'm always a little surprised are still in the top hundred.

Puppytails · 17/02/2022 09:39

I love it

MrsTxx · 17/02/2022 09:55

I do like the name Chloe, it’s pretty but very common. I definitely went to school with a lot of them ( I’m in my 20s)

FayCarew · 17/02/2022 13:41

Overused in the late 1990s and early 2000s so now seems dated

RuthW · 17/02/2022 15:06

It's ok but old fashioned.

FuggyPidding · 17/02/2022 15:08

I used to love it... maybe 10 years ago... now I think it's ok but a bit meh. Dated perhaps.

And I know someone with a Chloe who pronounces the 'wee' bit a bit too obviously so maybe that's what's put me off!!

Glitterygreen · 17/02/2022 15:10

I don't think Chloe is dated or old fashioned at all!

I have always thought it's a pretty name but for me not something I love enough to pick.

GunsNShips · 17/02/2022 15:16

I like Chloe - I like the way it looks as well as sounds.

It’s a well known name but less popular now than it was so you won’t find many other children their age with the name

KirstenBlest · 17/02/2022 15:30

No, but when she enters the workplace as a graduate, it will be the name of several 40-yr olds.

scottishnames · 17/02/2022 15:54

blubells No, if it has anything, it has two dots over the 'e'. The dots are called a diaeresis and show that two letters, side by side, that would often be pronounced as one sound (here, 'oe', as in 'toe' or 'Joe') should be pronounced separately: Chlo-ee.

But many/most people don't use the two dots these days.
