I would really love to use [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] for a future child’s first name (DH has green eyes [name_f][/name_f] ) but I can’t get over how modern/trendy it sounds (to the average ear). But it’s a super old name! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any middle name suggestions that might give it an air of “established”? I’ve tried some names like [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Benedicta[/name_f] or [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] Scholastica…but I think those just make [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] seem more modern by contrast, rather than the MN’s age rubbing off on the combo…if that makes sense.

(By established I think more middle ages/western cannon names, not so much ancient Rome…more british monarchy, less [name_m]Roman[/name_m] empire?)
i’ve got a little cousin named [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] (big sister [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] “Addy”) i love it, such a sweet name! for older middle names…

[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (if you like shorter), [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
oo i’m liking the [name_m]French[/name_m] names [name_f][/name_f]- I think maybe it gives [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] more cred as a “real” name, not just a “trendy” name?
Such an interesting task. I’m thinking something very traditional, even classical, but relatively uncommon. [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] is a great suggestion from @CMV2254[name_f][/name_f].
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is lovely! [name_f][/name_f] I’ve been loving her myself lately. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f] was my first idea—I like her a lot! [name_f][/name_f] I’ve loved [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Adeliza[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], and [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] (on my current list!), so [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Adeliza[/name_f] (!!), and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] came to mind too. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f] the suggestion of [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] too! [name_f][/name_f] She feels like a crumbly old cathedral in Cornwall

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] Agnès (so much lovelier in [name_m]French[/name_m]! Same for Irène haha)
I liked [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] so much, but the endless parade of [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Zoie[/name_f], Zooy has left me feeling the sound of it may be overused. [name_f][/name_f][name_f]My[/name_f] first thought for a middle has already been suggested. [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Morganna[/name_f] is awesome! [name_f][/name_f]But my second thought is, if you really want to ground the name, then [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Cathryn[/name_f] sounds, beautiful and timeless. [name_f][/name_f] She can easily use [name_f]Cece[/name_f] (C.C.) or [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] if she wants to stand out a bit. [name_f][/name_f]Once you choose a style (nature) or a theme (ethnic) or an initial, or a family name (honorific), it will be easier to suggest options, but [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is a pretty name and goes with thousands of middles.
The greek names really give chloe some context, i think [name_f][/name_f]- I’m liking [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] (not sure if I’d use it unless i can find a connection to it though), [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] (ditto), [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f], and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Perpetua[/name_f] and [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Bibiana[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Veronique[/name_f] too but can’t see myself using it at the moment!
Have been toying with [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Therese[/name_f] (french pronunciation) [name_f][/name_f]- thoughts? [name_f]Or[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] julian
[name_f][/name_f] ) but I can’t get over how modern/trendy it sounds (to the average ear). But it’s a super old name! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any middle name suggestions that might give it an air of “established”? I’ve tried some names like [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Benedicta[/name_f] or [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] Scholastica…but I think those just make [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] seem more modern by contrast, rather than the MN’s age rubbing off on the combo…if that makes sense.
