/kloUi/. "klo-ee". First syllable like "clothes", "close", "clone"
without the final consonant. Second syllable rhymes with "be", "fee",
"glee", etc. |

Klo-ee, with the emphasis on the first syllable.

More like Tsunami, our two year old grand daughter |
Chloe has left for her home in Paris. Now we have to
sort through the disaster area she left behind. |

One lady with that name who called my place of work pronounced it as
"klow" -- uh -- rhymes with "crow".
But my great-niece pronounces it "KLOW-ee", as her parents taught her.
When she gets into grade-school, I'm going to show her how to spell it.

Yeah, you should hear Cal Tjader (and his Modern Mambo Quintet) play it and
sing it.

Main Entry: Chloe
Pronunciation: 'klO-E
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek ChloE
The name was often spelled with an umlaut over the "e", to indicate that the
two vowels are not a diphthong, and to show syllable separation. That
spelling indication has been dropped, but you occasionally see it in words
like "cooperation". If it weren't there, it was thought, people would
pronounce the word as in chicken coop.
I think Zoë is another name like Chloë. (I couldn't find a site with a good
umlaut in Chloe, though a lot of the sites using French terms have an accent
on the "e" in the titles, which in smaller type is an umlaut [dieresis]. )

And here's me actually trying to work out how "Chloe" could ever rhyme
with "play back" and thinking he's had revenge on Prof. Eff for the
initialisms at last. Then I said wait a second maybe I'm Sparkying it a
little too much and got it right away. If I were petty, I could wonder
about that comma after the parenthesis; but I'm not, so I won't.

No, never an umlaut with an E, and never an umlaut anyway in a word
that isn't German. An umlaut indicates a certain modification of the
vowel, not that it is not part of a diphthong.
The two dots in "Chloë" are a dieresis or trema, to indicate that this
is not a diphthong.
They look identical, but then, a capital A looks exactly like a Greek
capital alpha, yet they are different letters.
