Chloe

原Chloé de Launay is the girlfriend of French professional footballer of Algerian descent, Karim Benzema.

原First time I heard this name, I was watching a TV show with a stuck-up, bratty, rich-girl character named Chloé and it has officially left a bad impression on me.

原I'm surprised this name is becoming really popular, and actually I'm pretty sad about it. That being said, I love my name. When I was teenager, yeah, not so much, but I've learned to love it. My parents chose it because there are barely any nicknames for it. But of course an old family friend came up with two, "Clover, and CloClo" but they never really stuck. My parents chose my name because of how unique it is. I really don't want my name to become like 'Jessica' or 'Sally', both names I like, but they are so popular. I know over ten Jessicas. But while I'm not wanting my name to become more mainstream, I don't want it to because of my mother. My parents couldn't have children so they adopted me, and they made sure to give me a special, unique name. That being said, I still want my parents to feel like they really did pick a special name. In my experience though, I've never really met another Chloé.

原This name is really trendy where I live, but I like it anyway. I've got a niece named Chloé. She's got at least four friends named Chloé as well - that shows how common it is here.

原Dr Evil's mum (in the Austin Powers movies) was a '15-year old French prostitute named Chloé with webbed feet'.

原This name is just as trendy in France as it is in English speaking countries. It has only been in use in France since the 1970's, and its popularity skyrocketed in the 90's. It is very unlikely that you'll come across a Chloé over the age of 30.

原Chloé is pronounced klo-AY in French, (The _ay_ sound is shorter than it would be said in English.) Chloé, and the spelling Cloé, are currently very popular names in France. In 2009, Chloé ranked at #4 in the most popular names given to baby girls. [noted -ed]

原Beautiful name! LOVE IT!

原I love the French form, and prefer it over the American pronunciation. Chloe for many sounds too cutesy, and reminds people of dogs, but Chloe (with an accent) sounds more sophisticated. I love the Chlo sound but I'm not wild about the e sound at the end, so I prefer Chlo-ay.

原I love Chloe pronounced Klo - AY.

原Chloe is the name of the French fashion house and its perfume.

原I've always heard it pronounced kloh-AY.

原Daphnis et Chloé is a ballet with music by Maurice Ravel.

原Chloe Dao is an American fashion designer and television personality who lives and works in Houston, U.S. She was the winner of the second season of the reality show Project Runway with a collection of women's evening wear. Many of the pieces in her finale collection featured billowing, voluminous sleeves, removable shrugs and strong brocade prints.Dao was born in Pakse, Laos to an ethnic Vietnamese (Kinh) family. During the Vietnamese civil war Dao's parents moved to Thailand to escape the conflict. The family, including Dao, her parents and seven sisters, emigrated to the United States in 1979. Growing up she redesigned vintage clothes; her first original was her senior prom dress.

原This name is cute, But! Agree it sounds like a cat. Sorry. Still good name. Not sure how it will age?

原Perfect name for a cat. Chloe sounds extremely childish to me though.

原Chloe is a cool name.

原I love the name, but whenever I think of it, it reminds me of this awful mean cruel girl at a school I went to when I was little I love it but I would never use it as I always think of HER!

原I hate this name. It's so trashy and childish.

原I am totally in love with this name! It really speaks to me. It is very intriguing and it has something special about it. It's different and unique, despite it's popularity. I've never met any child or adult with this name. I'm going to name my daughter Chloe. To me, this is the best name I've ever heard.

原My cockapoo's name is Chloe. It suits her perfectly!

原Not my favorite name, mainly because the OH-ee sound is too cutesy and childish to my ears. It's not a bad name, otherwise, and I think it could suit many different types of girls and women, though it mainly fits those who are more feminine.

原I think this name is really cute and "posh" sounding. It's quite common, especially with a "C" instead of a "K" (I prefer the former). Most Chloe's I've known in real life haven't been very good/nice people, but there are some pretty cool celebrities with this name.

原I absolutely cannot stand this name, and that's coming from someone who is stuck with it. The popularity of the name, and people's perceptions of the name (Cutesy, preppy) only make me hate it more. I will be changing it in the future.

原I love the name but prefer the spelling Khloey or Khloe as they are a lot less popular.

原I used to LOVE this name! But now i`m not too keen on it, it's gotten too common over the last 5 years :(

原I love the name Chloe as it is my name. Growing up as a child (in the late 80's), there were no other girls who had the name and many people couldn't pronounce it (strange, I know). As I grew up I learned to love my name as it was unique to me and I was named after my grandmother (Chlorine). Anyhow, nicknames I have are Coco (because I am classy and stylish), Clo Clo, Lo Lo and Clo.

原I went to school with the most beautiful girl named Chloe. She was the only person I ever met with this name. I had a plan to name my future child Chloe until I saw that it is one of the most popular names out there right now. I don't like following trends. It's just funny to me that it is so popular. It must be a new thing because when I was in school there was one Chloe in the whole high school (that I knew of) and it was that gorgeous girl I speak of.

原Chloe Price is a character in the video game Life Is Strange.

原I really like the name Choe a lot more now than before! Sure, it's common, but it DOES have a nice sound to it. It's an awesome name. :D My friend who has this name is a very cool & friendly person to get to know! ^_^

原Chloe is my name, and I never really liked it. My parents almost named me Victoria, which I would have preferred because I feel like more of a Tori than a Chloe. The shape of the word kind of annoys me, and it sounds like the name of a little girl at her third birthday party with curly pigtails. I usually go by my first name and middle name (Chloe Rose) because it sounds more mature.

原I'm not much of a fan of this name, but I have nothing against it either. However, I really dislike the spelling. Three consonants at the start (though I also dislike the spelling Cloe), and the oe combination is also one I'm not fond of.

原Don't listen to everyone who says girls named Chloe don't have personalities. That's ridiculous! You can't possibly generalize based on a name. I think Chloe is a bright, intelligent, colorful name that works no matter how old you are or what color your hair is (come on people)! Chloe for the win!

原I used to hate this name but it started to grow on me. I have settled on my future kids and I think I might use this for my youngest daughter. I'm going to name her after the dancer, Chloe Lukasiak. She's on/used to be on the show Dance Moms.

原I think of Chloe's with dark hair and kinda dark features. Only met one blonde Chloe and I don't think it fits. I'm not a fan of the accented names in America either. I think Chloe is more straight forward. Also, Khloe is plain trashy (sorry Khloé Kardashian!). I honestly think this name is harsh to pronounce and sounds extremely childish. I would prefer Cleo, if anything. I can't believe my parents chose this for my sister as they carefully chose a name for me that could age well.

原I like this name! It has sass!

原Alright, so to be completely honest, I hate how every single one of the other Chloe's are blonde, and brainless... My name is Chloé, the French version but Chloé nonetheless. My name is usually thought of as whiny brats, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a whole popular vibe to them... I'm here to say that not all of us Chloe's are like that. In fact I have brown hair, blue grey green eyes (which are a conversation on their own) and yes, I'm thin, but I'm of French decent, so thin and petite fit right in along there. But then there's the thought that all of us Chloe's are brainless. Well, let me tell you, I may not be the best at math or spelling, but science is a strong passion of mine. So is music, rather classical or some fun jazz, or even opera! Art is also a major thing in my life, rather it be with a brush or ballet. As for the peppy look... It's a fashion style that looks best on short petite girls. So yeah, I like that style, but you know what?... I also love quirky styles too. So next time you make an opinion based on the name of a person you know, let them know it's because of that person. Because some people may have prissy names... But they could end up being the coolest people you ever meet.

原Cute name for a little girl, but doesn't sound right on an adult.

原Chlöe Howl (real name Chlöe Howells) is a British singer-songwriter.

原This name is incredibly boring in my opinion. :|

原Not a fan...It makes me think of someone who is spoiled and fake.

原The name Chloe comes off as sounding very annoying. Placed on an attractive, preppy, fake, whiny type girl who's used to getting whatever she wants instead of having respect for others and earning the things she has.A Chloe would chip a nail and freak or if a little bit of mud got onto them, they would freak.Not a fan of Chloe...

原I'm not too fond of this name. In my experience, every 'Chloe' I have ever met whether they be a character from a book, a tv show, movie or, in real life all had the same personality; all beauty, no brains, preppy, stuck up, FAKE PERSONALITY.Sorry, but I really can't help but think of a female who may have beauty but has no brains (meaning common sense) and is an all around FAKE. Someone whom I would despise.I've met 13 different Chloes in my lifetime from various events and all of their personalities were the same or at least, nearly the same.Also the name alone just sounds stuck up, and too preppy.

原Too common. Also, sounds a bit like cloying... not good.

原In 1989, the Seattle-based rock band Mother Love Bone released a song titled "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns". It is considered one of the fifty best songs over seven minutes long by Rolling Stone magazine. The song's popularity could have contributed to the name's subsequent meteoric rise in popularity.

原I know so many dogs and cats named Chloe.

原Too common.

原I like it, because it sounds unique, (which, with everyone using it these days, it won't be much longer.) But the spellings like chole, khloe, and cloe are just stupid.~ChimiCherryChanga!

原Chloe Hosterman (known professionally as 'Dove Cameron') is an American actress best known for playing twins Liv and Maddie on the Disney sitcom of the same name. She also stars in the upcoming DCOM "Cloud 9." Before that, she guest starred on the TV drama show "Shameless."

原Chloe is the heroine of the story Daphnis and Chloe, a romantic pastoral story written in ancient Greece.

原Chloe Webb played Nancy Spungen in the movie Sid and Nancy.

原It's surprising that it's supposedly so "popular" in the USA considering that I've never met a Chloe in my life. However, I think that Chloe isn't the best name because many people mispronounce it. It's KLO-ee, not CHLO-ee. Otherwise, an okay name, but I always think of a Bratz doll when I hear it..

原Personally I love the name Chloe. I feel it is a very easy name to say. It is also a very popular british name but originally occurred in Ireland. However, it isn't as popular in Ireland as it is in Britain.

原I like this name cause I have a friend called Chloe but I do think it is too common. In my family I have 3 cousins and an aunt called Chloe so when they all come over like at christmas it gets very confusing. Nicknames that I have heard for Chloe are Clo and Coco. It is a very nice name though and makes me think of butterfly's and graceful ballerinas.

原I think people at the name census center make sure all the pretty names get on top so nobody could use them because I work at a day care center at my school and love to look at the maternity center and I have never met a Chloe. So yeah, I find it really weird that half of the names I see on the list I don't see in real life.

原There is a Russian variant of this name as well - Khloya (Хлоя in Cyrillic script).

原My name is Chloe Elyse. I used to hate my name because when I was little (I'm 22) it was very unpopular and I couldn't get any of those personalized knick-knacks like license plates or pens with my name on them. I love my name now though, even though I don't like how popular it's gotten. I like being uncommon! And I have a bear of an Italian last name, so I think my mother did a wonderful job coming up with a middle name that connected my first and last together gracefully.

原Overused!

原It's my name! Why would I hate it? I read the comments and they kinda hurt my feelings. But I love it and that is perfect! And it's funny I look almost exactly like Chloe Mortez! XD

原Chloe Saunders, a fictional character in the Darkest Power series by Kelly Armstrong.

原This a pretty name but the only thing that is wrong is that I can't imagine somebody strong with this name. I imagine a young, delicate and sweet little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. So it might not be a good name to grow old to but still sweet.

原How could you possibly hate Chloë Grace Moretz? She's an incredible actress and a very humble person. Don't hate on her just because of the name she has. I bet you're just jealous because she's famous, beautiful, rich, and talented. However, you are not and that bothers you, doesn't it?

原I hate this name! And I hate Chloe Moretz!

原Chloë Sevigny (born 1974 in Springfield, Massachusetts) is an American actress.

原Personally, I really don't like this name as I feel that it is very boring. I know a Chloe and she is horrible, so I guess my opinions of this name have always been tainted with the memories of this awful girl. I am very sorry if this offends anyone, but unfortunately this is the way I feel.

原I like it. I picture a Chloe as a take-no-crap kind of girl.

原I love this name but it reminds me of a cat...

原I like this name a lot. I know a little girl named Chloe and she is just the sweetest thing. Absolutely darling! I will always think lovely thoughts of this name.

原54 years ago I acquired this name. It was odd but unique. Difficult for school but wonderful for life. Back when it was unheard of before the perfume the meaning was "a fresh blossom". It is Greek. I believe the perfume bottle is shaped like a flower not grass. So there maybe something to the blossom thing.

原Also spelled Cloie.

原Chloë Grace Moretz is an American actress.

原This name is one of the worst names ever when used as a baby name. Can you just think harder about it? C'mon people, there's nothing special about this name. Nor the sound or meaning is amusing. The meaning only means GRASS or LAWN in Greek. How embarrassing to know that you have a name that means grass. The sound is blah as well, let me think of a rhyming word..."Glowing", yet the name is very DIM. I mean there are a bunch of other rhyming words but I'm just trying to give you my opinion. It's time people got a realization of this name and also it decreases in popularity.

原I adore the name Chloe. I used to absolutely hate it with a passion, but now it's in my top 5. And people, it matures quite well. It was in the top 1000 for 1900. I hate this whole "if it ends in "-E" it's cutesy" thing. What about Bethany, Emily, and Rosalie? Do those names age poorly? I think we should look at the whole name and not just its ending.And about its popularity, I do think it's rather common. It's in the top 10 for the U.S., and I know four Chloes. I still love the name, and I am not bothered by its popularity. It's popular for a reason, it's a great name! (:

原I like the name Chloe. It doesn't need a nickname. I just hope that Khloe Kardashian doesn't manage to sigmatize the name.

原I don't know anybody with this name, and if this is your name, don't be insulted. You're not a bad person because of your name.In all honesty, I really dislike this name. It's just... cheap. It's too common and overused. Well I guess it would be a alright name on a young girl, but think about it - when she gets to be like forty or something, will it sound so good then? How about when she's a grandmother? Yeah, not my kind of name. Sorry, no offense intended.

原This name can mature easily, and can suit many different types of girls. It has a long history behind it, and it's modern without being along the same lines as "Jayden" and "Nevaeh".That being said, I don't like it. There's just something about it that I find unattractive. I recently learned that my mom wanted to call me Chloe, and I'm glad she didn't, though I didn't get a much better deal with "Destiny".

原I have to admit, Chloe seems a bit like a dog's name to me. It is cute, though, and I like how it means "young shoot." I want to use it as a middle name for Celeste.

原Reminds me of the Chlorine gas.

原This is my name! I used to hate it for the longest time (I wanted to be called 'Willow' or something like that, I was a strange child) but ever since I heard the meaning of it, I began to love it again.'Green Shoot'. Wow :D

原My best friend's name is Chloe, and she's blonde and blue eyed, but wears black all the time. So that take the fluff level down a few notches for me. That being said, I don't LOVE the name, but I certainly don't hate it either. I wouldn't use it, but there's nothing wrong with it. And to all the people who hate on names, remember: Every single name on this site has been given to an actual living, breathing human being with FEELINGS. So you may not like a name, and you can say as such, but please don't make generalities, or too snarky comments. :)

原Chloë Grace Moretz is a very talented child actress who has recently starred in Kick-Ass, Let Me In, and played roles in (500) Days of Summer an The Amityville Horror.

原I absolutely love the name Chloe! It is beautiful and sophisticated, a very lovely name. :) The only sad thing about it is that is is getting so popular. Because of this, even though it's my own name, I probably wouldn't name my child it.

原This name is beautiful, it's the best name I've ever heard!

原This is my name and I love it! It's the sound and the look of the name that I love about it!

原I don't know why there is so many people who say "This name is fine for NOW but can you imagine when they get old?" I'm sure in like, 2060 or some nutty year like that people will associate names like Ashley, Emily, or CHLOE with old people. Besides, the name Chloe has been around forever. I know it's a cutesy name to a lot of you, but in the Bible Paul had a friend called Chloe.

原Chloe is a cute name, but I'm not sure about how well it ages.

原For the longest time, I hated this name. I think it mostly had to do with some Mary-Kate and Ashley teen movies/Tv-shows. And a skanky Bratz doll.However, this name has grown on me so much that it is now in my Top 10. It is really a lovely name, with some unfortunate namesakes. However, I think this name fits both a child and an adult, as well as an older woman--it ages well with the bearer.

原There is a film called "Chloe" in which the title character is a prostitute. Hmm. Amanda Seyfried plays Chloe. I like the name though. I always think of Chloe from "24". I love the show and the character.

原Considering the meaning of this name "Green Shoot/Grass" it's like saying you are what it means. Sounds ugly and gross too.

原Interesting, my name is Chloe and all of you who described what you think Chloe would look like could almost be describing me. I have dark blond, curly hair, slim build, pale skin, and hazel eyes. Also, I'm 20, and I can say that yes it is a name that can mature with you, all you need is to have met a mature Chloe to know that. The name, I was told by friends who speak Greek as their native language, means young grass. Personally I wasn't impressed by the literal meaning, but I tend to think of it as representing hope, like the small green shoots that are the first signs of spring. Having this name has definitely shaped the way I view myself, as a unique individual and someone who has the ability to be a bringer of hope.

原My friend's name is Chloe, but like me with Zoe, she puts two dots on the E {Chloë}. I like the name, especially for a pale skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. If you do think its too popular and only for little kids, maybe you could either have it for a middle name OR have a nickname like Coco or Lola.

原Aunt Chloe is a character in the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. She is the wife of the title character.

原Chloe Agnew, member of the group Celtic Woman, is a famous bearer.

原Chloe. Ugh. Years ago, my mothers friend told me she picked a unique name for her daughter, and then she told me she'd named her Chloe. This sounds like a name that someone who's TRYING to be unique, original and "cool" would name their kid.

原Chloe is an extremely pretty name and one hundred years ago it was elegant, classy and very rare.BUT unfortunately today it is not only horribly common, it is also most common amongst trashy families trying to sound better than they are. As a result, teenage Chloes today tend to be skanky little gutter-snipes.It's sad, because they've ruined a really lovely name.

原I always thought the name Chloe was cute. However, so many other people think so. As a result, this name is overused. I prefer the Italian form Cloe, despite it being unfortunately associated with a Bratz doll.

原Chloe is good for those who are bored with all the other common names. If you wanna feel good, stand out (in a good way), and make a good impression, then this is the name for you or your child. It sounds wonderful. People like being expressive with their appearance, why not with your first name? Very cool.

原My cousin's name is Chloe, and I absolutely LOVE this name! Chloe is such a sweet name. =] Chloe is just an amazing name! =]

原How could you not like this name? It is so cute and gorgeous at the same time!

原Chloe. I like the way it rolls off my tongue but it's just so darn popular!
