Chloe Leone - is a tongue twister for me.
Chloe Nell - I think that Chloe needs something a little longer

how about Chloe Eleanor? That way, you can honor both Nell and Leone all in one name!

You summed that up nicely! Ditto everything:) How about Leona?

Re: ~ Which middle name?!

I LOVED bananakins' ideas, especially Chloe Eleanor! My vote goes for that one if Mandi likes it!

Re: ~ Which middle name?!

I love both the names Chloe and Eleanor so much. But do they really sound good together? All the sounds together sound kind of mashed up to me.
Chloe Nell is pretty, but kind of short.
Chloe Leone sounds mashed up, too.
Hmmm...
Maybe Chloe Evelyn. Evelyn has the "n" and the "l" and the "e" from Nell and also from Leone. But the "v" in Evelyn breaks up the sounds nicely. I love Chloe Evelyn.

I agree that Chloe and Eleanor don't sound the best together, but I do love Eleanor! I can't put my finger on it as to why, though. Hmm...

Chloe Nell: I love some short names with Chloe, like Jane, but something about Chloe Nell doesn't flow well to me. Hmm...
Chloe Leone: Because both names contain long O and E sounds, something sounds off to me.

You may (or may not) like:

Short names with Chloe:

Chloe Blythe
Chloe Jane

Longer:

Chloe Diana
Chloe Jessamine
Chloe Mirabelle
Chloe Miranda
Chloe Victoria

Along the lines of Chloe (in case you're still looking for names) you may like:

Phoebe
Daphne
Zoe
Cleo
Audrey
Charlotte
Caroline
Clementine
Cora
Diana
Flora
Genevieve
Hope
Ivy
Juliet
Josephine
Lucy
Louisa
Lydia
Rose (first name)
Ruby
Stella
Tessa
Violet
Vivienne
Willa

I really love Nell (both on its own and as a nickname for Helena and Eleanor) and Leona (Leonora, too), and think they're more distinctive than Chloe, which is now #10 in popularity in the U.S...

Good luck! :-)
