Chloe - how common is it really?

[Faithy]

Hi all,

We're having our baby girl very soon. Chloe is really the only name DH and I both love and we keep coming back to it.

But unfort it seems that most of Aus thinks the same thing as it's in the Top 5 names of the last decade. And I wanted something less common.

So...in practice have you guys come across lots of little Chloe's? I'm in Melb

My SIL's name is Chloe and DS also has a cousin aged 7 named Chloe.

So I know two. I haven't come across a heap of Chloe's but I do love the name, I tend to think if you love a name - USE IT!!! Who cares if it's "too common" or whatever. I missed out on calling my child what was in my heart and I regret it daily.

I know of 3 born in the last 18 months!

I think it is quite common but that said, if it the only name you like then you should use it.

My DD is Mia which is also very common these days but it was the only name we could decide on so we went for it.

I know one Chloe in my mothers group and then I have a friend back home named Chloe, no others come to mind.

[TripleTime]

I know a few but they were all born in late 80's, early 90's.

[Blairysmum]

i know four
aged 21,8,2 and 7 months!
i think its a beautiful name if you like it go with it!

[Ana Gram]

I only know of one. If you love the name, use it

[FearlessLeader]

i know of two, and both are hubber's kids!

Don't know any others though and i come across quite a few little kids in my work

but hey, i say if it's popular, it means most people will go "ohhhh, what a lovely name" when you tell them!

[chicken and eggs mum]

I agree, love it, use it!! Thats my motto!!!!

I know a few, but not too many!!!

(Dh and I keep coming back to the same name too - i think it meant to be!!)

I'm sure I would have come across a few in my lifetime, but I only 'know' one. She's four.

I like it
