Chloe

Chloe means "Blooming" and comes from Greek, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It is having a real moment, more popular in the 2000s than ever before. These days, it is familiar to most people. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
