I think I've told you long before but when I used to work in a nursing home there was an old woman named Chloe, but she said it as one syllable. Chloe rhyming with Glow.

That's neat! I heard of someone more recently who did the same thing, named their kid Chloe, pronounced like "Joe". I've often wondered how much frustration they've met with, how that's going for them...
I don't know but before I realized the old woman Chloe was one syllable I would greet her by saying "How ya doing today Chloe?" (The ordinary way) and she'd respond "I don't know, but if I see her I'll ask her for you" as an off-handed way of meaning that's not her name, but I didn't catch on for a while.
