Help[Opinions] Re: Purposefully mispronounced names
in reply to a message by Nikki
I think I thought Chloe was pronounced "Chlo" as a child too, until I figured out the Greeks and their love of diaeresis!
I was also told by someone that the "word" Chlo (spelled how, I am not sure) means "toilet" in German. Help me out here, Europeans - is this true??

But why would you think that if your name is Chloe?

Because I wasn't always Chloe :)

I wouldn't say the Greeks love diaereses(diaeresis is the singular). They're not used in the Greek language at all. They're used on words in other languages and often on those of Greek origin.

Yes :) that's true.
We spell it "Klo" and it really means "toilet" in German

Lol, oh no. Poor little Chlo... one can only hope that she never goes to Germany, I guess?

Or that someone named Galen never comes here to Sweden. It means "crazy".
There is a lot of names that means something "bad" in other languages. Quite funny actually :P
