Good Transliteration of the name "Chloe"

Question

I'm trying to translate the name Chloe into Chinese that would be meaningful and sound the same as it does in English.

The name Chloe is a Greek baby name. In Greek the meaning of the name Chloe is: Green shoot. Fresh blooming.

I have come up with "草怡". Does that work as a transliteration of the name or does that name not seem right? I don't want to pick anything that would have a negative colloquialism.

Answer 4

chloe 可怡 This is most suitable for a girl in my opinion

Answer 5

可蕾.

• 可(ke3): able, becoming, agreeable
• 蕾(lei3): bud, bloom

Both are frequent female name characters.

The only downside is that they all go the third tone like down-up-down-up which can be mouthful for a name, but you can substitute 可 with 珂, another frequent female name character. The latter sounds better, but the meaning could be a bit off.

珂(ke1): (white) jade.
