Oh why hello there indeed!

And as it turns out apparently we do indeed have the same name!

What a glorious and wonderous thing!

Now is your version of Chloe the French version or the Greek version?

Do you use an umlaut or an accent when you write your name???

I do so love meeting other Chloe's that are human!

I've only ever met people who were like "Oh yeah, my DOG is named Chloe!" or "My CAT is named Chloe!"

Ugh, such horribleness!

I write my name the same as you do, Chloe c: I was named such with intent towards the Greek, though. I think it's kind of interesting how many ways people spell it. Chloe, Cloe, Khlöe, e.t.c. People often misspell my name as "Chole" which really annoys me for some reason. That would be like... "Cole" or "Chohle"... :I and I hear so many people tell me the same thing with their pets XD It's a rare occasion that I get to meet a fellow human Chloe XD

Ahhhh see, I spell mine with the umlaut.

I just didn't know how to do it on here without getting all that funky code garbage all over the place hahaha!!!

Mine is toward/the Greek as well as I have Greek god parents and family.

And except for those horrid Kardeshians (or however they spell their last name) I have only ever seen people spell it "Chloe".

Just with different accents is all, depending on what version of Chloe they were using.

My littlest brother used to spell my name "Chole" when he was little little.

And he used to say my name pronounced "Coal-Lee".

So yay for meeting another fellow human with the same name!

It's one of those rare times!

Wait. . . is it a blue moon tonight? That would explain it hahaha!!!

I see...! My middle name (Sophia) is Greek as well, but as far as I know, my parents don't choose a name for anything more than the ethnicity and the sound of it. Like my younger brother is Collin, which is Celtic, and if he was a girl, he would be Dunia, which is Arabic c: I have only ever known two other Chloes in real life and on deviantART, I have met two, including you

Oh that's really pretty! Chloe Sophia! It has a really nice ring to it!

Both my middle names are boys names, well one is just the male spelling of a name.

My first middle name is Jesse (male spelling) after a female ancestor who was one of the first 

women to travel across the unsettled US by covered wagon alone. She settled in IL and wha-la my family began!

My second middle name is Eli and I chose it myself when I was 6 or 7 during a naming ceremony.

It was in honor of my best friend at the time, a boy named Eli. I told him that while life may

pull us apart, by having his name as my middle name I would remember him always.

My family kiiiiiinda has a thing for names. Me and my siblings all have a BUNCH of them hahaha!

And I love Dunia! So pretty!

And oddly enough, I have actually never met another Chloe in real life!

I've heard stories of them, but never met one hahaha!

Once in high school someone wanted to know if I was related to this girl who had graduated yrs

ahead of me JUST because we were both named Chloe!

Another was a time in college, but alas I never met that Chloe either!

I did know someone once who said their niece was named Chloe hahaha!

But I have never actually physically met one!
You're the first other Chloe I've ever talked to hahahaha!!!

Chloe Jesse Eli? That sounds nice c: I wish we had naming ceremonies DX It would be nice to choose a name of my own.
The Chloes I knew... I haven't seen an of them for many many years!
But back on the topic of middle names, my younger brother also has ethnically oriented and connected names like me. His is Celtic; Collin Burton. Although, my older brother doesn't. His are Nicholas Andrew.

Hahaha yeah I'm actually quite fond of it. Though I'm not biased or anything. Ha!

And naming ceremonies are really nice actually. All of us kids got one.

It's nice because it allows the kids the chance to pick another middle name

if they feel so inclined. Don't even get my started on my last NAMES! As I have THREE!

My brothers have more middle names than I do, but I have more last names than they

do. Though my little brother beats me for most names by one as he has a hyphenated 

last name as well hahaha!

One brother has Thomas Jayhue Ramsey as his middle names.

Another has Timothy Patrick Joel as his middle names.

And my littlest brother has Arthur Eli (after me) Robyn as his middle names hahaha!

We do a lot of family names both living and ancestral.

So our names are from across the board, British, Scottish, Greek, Celtic etc hahaha!

That's pretty cool! I think that when someone names their child or they name themselves, they should choose a meaningful name, like they're named after someone important to them or the meaning of their name is symbolic. If I were to name my child, the girl would be either Melody, Emily, or Kyla, and a boy would be Kayden, after a few very close friends of mine.

Not what name is currently popular! Ugh!

If I ever had a girl I would name her Juniper.

And a boy would be Michael after a best friend of mine.

Course, those are the only names I have picked out.

Hahahaha! Guess there better not be more!!!

Yeah, I've had a number of strange nicknames over the course of time. Like when I was little, my dad called my Clover (and now one or two people at my karate class do XD) and my Mom called me Clovis. Then my best friend's parents started calling me that too and then it kind of passed around with my other friends. I've also been called Pixie, Chlo-bo (don't ask XD), and Hot Stuff (again, don't ask XD)

Oh god you and me BOTH! I mean, Chloe isn't a hard

name to say. And it's fairly short. And throughout my 

schooling I've always been the only one, but for some

reason EVERYONE decided to come up with a nickname

for me! I too was called Clover hahahaha! But it was by

a small circle of best friends of mine, and I didn't allow 

anyone else to call me it. My mom calls me Kit, and a friend

of mine heard her say it once so HE decided it would be his

nickname for me too. Ugh, haha! I had Dalton, Chlo-Dog,

Chlo-bear, Kohlee, Clo, Oompa Loompa (i'm short and like

bright colors, stripes and dye my hair strange colors), oh 

god I could go on and on! I swear, almost every one of my 

friends has their own personal nickname for me. Or very very

small groups of friends have one. But then again, it is a sign

of endearment and I do it to most of my friends as well so I

guess I can take it hahaha!!!

It will mos def be our little secret.

Uhhh, you don't know how to cook?
*shakes head sadly*
Uhmmm, I think you might want to rectify that situation.
But then again. That's why microwaves were invented.
But seriously. . .
Dump chicken stock (broth you can buy in a container!!!) into a pot, add uncooked noodles, throw in garlic (it even comes pre-diced!!!), salt, pepper and any spices you like. Once the noodles are done crack an egg or two into the pot and stir quickly with a fork so it cooks but is broken up into wisps. Right there is a simple, basic one pot soup. You can add veggies or meat or anything else later once you get the hang of it!

And wow. . . That was really long hahaha!!!

Well it was no problem really!
Most people shy away from color, or only use it to highlight their work.
Now don't get me wrong, I find nothing wrong with that as all art is beautiful.
It's just refreshing to see someone grab onto brights colors as a medium.
And not only that but a hand held, real deal medium.
Unless I am mistaking you haven't used a single of computer color in your pieces.
And that makes me so happy to see!

Really.
But I just prefer traditional because like you said, it's something you can hold and touch.
Art I believe is something that is meant to be enjoyed by all the sense, sort of an all encompassing thing. And computer art, though beautiful, only fulfills sight.
It's like books, they're meant to be held and smelled. Their spines are meant to be snapped, their corners slightly dog eared and their edges yellowed with age, use and love.
Not electronic and plugged into a wall with self illuminating pages.
