How is the name Chloé pronounced in French? I have a feeling it's something like klo-AY, but I'm not that sure.ThankssummerRaine, previously posting as Ailis.

If I remember my French lessons correctly, it is pronounced something between klo-AY and klo-EH with the final 'e' spoken very "tight". I can't find a symbol which shows the exact prn. and I think this typically French sound is very hard to make for an English speaker. Are there any fluent French speakers here who can confirm or deny this?
