The first is KLO-ee unless she's a snob in which case it's klo-A, which I sincerely hope it isn't b/c a cloaca, pronounced kloAka, rhymes with baker, is an organ of elimination in lower animals.

The second , according to teenfashion.about.com/od/photogalleries/ig/Tricky-Fashion-Names/Proenza.htm., is pro-in-za skooler. which is pretty clear, unless of course the person who wrote that is from a state called TINnissee, in which case we're still in the dark.

which reminds me of a joke:
Steve: Is it ronald REEgan or Ronald RAYgun?
Tex: RAYgun.
Steve: Thanks! Glad I got that straight. btw, what kind of dog do you own?
Tex: A bagel.

Chlo� as far as I know is klo-eh not kloa or kloee...

I don't know of Proenza, you would need to find out how it is prononced... but I'm pretty sure it is not of English origin and as such not pro-In-zah...ok checked, it's Cuban. No "I" for sure.

Chloe I always thought was klo-ay, but I may be wrong about that one!
But as louche said, it is indeed proINza Skooler, I love them so I'm sure about that one!

You can always call a Chloe store and ask! Smile

I guess the thing is, do you want to say it "in English" or in the original language. Much like Day-vid vs Dah-vid.

It's Khlo-ee and Proinza Skouler.
