I have had the name Chloe for around a year but I don't really like it anymore, I don't know why but I don't like it the same way I used to.

So I have narrowed it down to a few names and I was hoping for a little input.

The Names that I narrowed it down to are Danielle, Chelsea, Emma, Claire, Madeline, Sophie, Olivia, Sarah, Melanie and Kirsten. If you want to please post some suggestions because I may absolutely fall in love with the name.

Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a beautiful name.

**Eleanor Rigby** · 23rd Sep 2009, 05:42 AM

I really like Emma.

I also lile, Mathilde, Louise, Francesca and Sarah

hannahhrosee · 23rd Sep 2009, 07:51 AM

i love plumb and olive.

23rd Sep 2009, 04:22 PM

Olivia. I have a good friend with that name so naturally I think it's wonderful.
I'm also partial to Fiona and Alexis.

Other than that I can't be of any help. I'm much more fond of male names and I hope to Genghis Khan that if I ever have children, they will all be boys.

Z3ni · 23rd Sep 2009, 04:31 PM

Ella
Marissa
Claudene
Tara
Margina
Barisha

Black Cat · 23rd Sep 2009, 04:34 PM

Out of those you've listed I like Emma, Danielle, and Claire.

I also like Eleanor, Victoria, Charlotte, Violet, Amanda, Caroline, Amy, Margaret, and Diana.

SilhouetteDream · 23rd Sep 2009, 04:39 PM

One of my best friends names is Olivia, so I love that one.
I also like Emma too. (:

Gidget. 'nuff said.

stratavos · 23rd Sep 2009, 07:44 PM

from your list, I'd say use claire

for my opinion, I'd say use the name Teysa

Nitro · 23rd Sep 2009, 11:05 PM

Chloe is a very nice name, but if it doesn't fit it just won't do. I say go with Claire as it sounds elegantly simple being one syllable, and for some reason makes me think of clairvoyance. Sarah is a strong second pick both for its old lineage, shortness (some diminutives are very annoying to the bearer of the name), and wealth of favourably viewed people with the same name.

When picking a name also make sure that your initials do not spell anything bad or embarrassing.

Danielle · 24th Sep 2009, 04:04 AM

Thanks for the help I think I will go with Olivia.

**Lexington** · 24th Sep 2009, 07:03 AM

I've always liked Chloe.

+ YouTube Video

But Olivia is nice, too.

I always like Madeleine, I like everyone I know named Maddy.

Sorry I can't be of much more help, but it's really a personal thing. Whatever you feel fits best.

shimmersky · 24th Sep 2009, 08:41 AM

Definitely go with Olivia.

RaRa · 24th Sep 2009, 09:13 AM

Out of your list I like Sophie.

I always loved the name Lucy though.

Paragon · 24th Sep 2009, 10:15 AM

I like Emma from your list, but the best girl names are:
Jessica
Tiffany
Mariska
Cammy
Emily
Selina
Ashley
and of course the best name in existence, October

Jay D · 24th Sep 2009, 10:15 AM

Emma suits you - I saw your pic and immediately thought "Emma".

Absentminded · 24th Sep 2009, 04:08 PM

I personally (based on the pics I've seen) think that Danielle would be suiting for you...

Danielle · 25th Sep 2009, 05:53 AM

So I couldn't change my name to Olivia so I am taking that as a sign that it isn't for me.

I think I will take Sophie.
