[name]Hi[/name] everyone.
I have always loved the name [name]Chloe[/name], ever since I was a kid and it was the name of my friend’s baby sister. Unfortunately, it is now so popular, and with “unique” spellings like [name]Khloe[/name] and Chloey also rising in popularity, it may be even more popular than it seems! So now I am looking for alternatives…can you help? Everyone here always gives such great advice!
My name is [name]Chloe[/name]! Thanks! Hmm, wel in a really good name book I ave they have alternatives to the top ten, and since [name]Chloe[/name] is now number 10 (which I hate and love at the same time) they alternatives for it, which are:
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Lela[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Karissa[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
My granddaughter’s name is [name]Chloe[/name] and my daughter says that she gets pleasure out of saying [name]Chloe[/name] everytime. So what is important at the end of the day is how much you love the name.
I like
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Anneliese[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Chantal[/name]
[name]Chantelle[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Sabine[/name]
I agree with you, rollo: if there is a name you [name]LOVE[/name] beyond all others and just seems like it should be YOUR child’s name, then I’d say go with it if at all possible.
As for [name]Chloe[/name]'s popularity, as a recent Nameberry blog (POPULAR GIRLS” NAMES: The Real Top 10 (or 12 or 13) showed, [name]Chloe[/name] is not a top 10 name when names are grouped by pronunciation instead of exact spelling. [name]Chloe[/name] with all its spellings didn’t even make the list of the 12 most popular names when considered that way. And anyway, plenty of parents continue to name their daughters the very top names - [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Isabella[/name], etc., so why not [name]Chloe[/name] if that’s your most favorite name?
As for alternatives, I think [name]Phoebe[/name] is close and is a great choice for parents concerned about popularity. [name]Phoebe[/name] isn’t trendy and ranks in the 300s. [name]Phoebe[/name] sound similar to [name]Chloe[/name], looks a bit like [name]Chloe[/name], and is also of Greek mythological origin. [name]Phoebe[/name] has the additional advantage of an appealing meaning – radiant, shining one – and a Shakespearean connection.
A close family member also likes [name]Chloe[/name], had it as ‘the’ name for a couple of months, but then had concerns about the name’s popularity too. She would have liked [name]Phoebe[/name] instead, but the baby’s dad doesn’t like that name. Too bad .
[name]Chloe[/name] has become too popular. My daughter has this name and now she is one of the
[name]Chloe[/name] M, [name]Chloe[/name] T, or [name]Chloe[/name] V in the classroom (along with the Emilys, Emmas and Ellas).
So, the next time, I will name my next child a name that is out of vogue.
For a girl, I like:
[name]Corrine[/name] (nn [name]Corrie[/name])
Wilhemina ([name]Willa[/name])
[name]Opal[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Cobie[/name]
[name]Kendall[/name] (Keni)
[name]Ophelia[/name] (Opi)
Malvolio ([name]Mali[/name])
and for a boy:
[name]Roger[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Holden[/name]
Thinking a little out of the box. But, still like traditional versus creative spellings.
