That sounds like trying to say cello with a mouthful of food. Ew.

This is one of the reasons I hate Chloe (and most other Ch- names). It’s fine for a well known names like Chloe or Charles, but with rare names how is the person supposed to know how to pronounce them without also knowing their full etymology AND half a dozen languages (French, Greek, Italian, Portuguese all pr. ‘ch’ in different ways) to figure the pronunciation out. Which might not see so bad for a name nerd, but most people aren’t into those things.

That's awful! CH-loh reminds me of something...but I can't tell what.

Good grief. Poor Chloe-the-name!
