My name is Chloé, but I don't like it like other people. The reason for this is: it doesn't suit my personality. I am mature and most people find it youthful. It is a beautiful and special name for suitable wearers who are confident. Unfortunately I am not one of them. Because I live in Germany, some people teased me with "Klo", which means toilet. But it's a nifty name in France and in English-speaking countries.
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.

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.
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.
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.
