Zoe Spelling and Middle Name?

augrl0307

Hi!

We are expecting a girl in March. I've come up with a huge list of names that have all been rejected by my husband - except for Zoe. He hasn't come up with ANY names, so for now it looks like we will be going with Zoe. I just found out he thought it would be spelled Zoey. I was thinking Zoe. What do you ladies think is the best way to spell it? 

Also, suggestions for middle name?

I like Zoe Elise so far - our last name starts with a G and is two syllables. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

I would stick with Zoe.

Zoe Elise is fine, though it does run together a bit.

Zoe Adele
Zoe Fiona
Zoe Corinne
Zoe Irene
Zoe Catherine
Zoe Olivia
Zoe Vanessa
Zoe Margot

If he wants zoey that's fine.

There is no alternate. The only correct way to spell it is Zoe. I think Zoe Elise is a lovely name.

Zoe - to me is both for a child and an adult

Zoey - Someone that is under the age of five for life, and their parents tried to be "cutesy" with the spelling

Definitely Zoe. Zoe Elise isn't terrible, but the e sounds kind of run together. Suggest: Zoe Catherine, Charlotte, Celeste, Genevieve.

Zoe is the correct spelling.  I like Zoe Elise!

Zoe 100%.  Zoey reminds me of Joey, doesn't look as nice, and the "y" is completely unnecessary.  Zoe is beautiful.

Middle name ideas:

Zoe Adeline 

Zoe Athena

Zoe Charlotte

Zoe Corinne 

Zoe Grace

Zoe Lena

Zoe Lillian

Zoe Madeleine

Zoe Mara

Zoe Rena  

Zoe Samantha

Zoe Samuela 

Zoe Vanessa

Zoe would be like Joe. Zoey or Zoë the dot symbols signifies that you need to pronounce the "e"

zoe has only one spelling

I actually think either spelling is fine. Both are fairly well recognized as the same name. Although one is the "technical" right spelling, the other is not a weird unique spelling that is hard to figure out. I do think that Zoe needs the dots if you really want to get technical. I love Zoe Elise. Elise was one of our top girl names.

I have seen it spelled Zoie which I like but not sure what is actually the proper spelling.

We are naming our girl Zoe and having the hardest time agreeing on a middle name!

Our original choice of spelling was Zoey (well my husband wanted Zooey lol) and I realized she would forever look like a child so we decided on the proper spelling Zoe. Just something to think about.

I sort of feel like this might be the French spelling but I could be wrong.  As one poster previously said, Zoe Elise seems to run into itself a little bit.  What about Zoe Leigh?

Zoe is the most correct spelling but Zoey doesn't bother me. I hate the Zooey variant.

Zoe, most definitely. 

Stacey for a middle name?

I have no idea what made me suggest that..

Please spell it Zoe. Every time I see Zoey I think the parents were trying to be cutesy/trendy.

I have only ever seen the three letter spelling as Zoë... but I am in Europe and that may be the influence of the germanic and Nordic

This and also Zoé - that was the first spelling of Zoe i'd ever seen. It was pronounced "Zo-eh"

Zoë --- love it this way! I would consider going with a single syllable middle name like Claire or Grace like a PP said. If you like Elise, then go for it! It is a lovely name.
