Zoe

What do you think of this name?  I really love it but part of me thinks it sounds like a pet name.  Am I overthinking this?

Also, does it sound good with DS Jack?

We named our cat Zoe, so to me it's a pet name. 

It is a cute name though and goes well with Jack.

Question: Are you pronouncing this Zo-ee or just Zo? (I've recently learned there is considerable debate on this: )

I had a foster cat we named Zoie and I loved it for her; in fact, I really, really like the name, even for children, though I don't think I would ever use it for my own child. I think enough children are given the name, however, that few people are going to think it's a pet's name--think Max, the most popular name for male dogs and also a very popular baby name.

I like Zoey.

Zo-ee.  That was another one of my concerns.  I was hoping that was obvious.

I'm not a fan. It doesn't necessarily sound like a pet name to me though - I just don't like it.

I like it, but I prefer it spelled Zoey. And yes, I like it with Jack.

I love it!  I was going to name my child Zoey if I had a girl, but just found out I am having a boy.

I actually know of 2 people that named their babies Zoey.  Hope that helps

I think its cute, and yes it would go fine with Jack.

I don't like it.

I like it, but only spelled Zoe. This is the original spelling. Zoey looks like ZOO-ey to me.

I definitely think it sounds good with Jack. And I do know a few little girls with the name Zoe.

That said, I had a rabbit named Zoe.

But I still love it!

I think it's cute! Sounds great w/ Jack!

I love this name and I think it goes great with Jack. 

As for the pet name comment..I think Zoe & Jack are equally as popular in the pet name category.

I like Zoe a lot, and Jack is one of my baby names, so i think that is great!  but yeah,  I can think of a few Zoe and Jack dogs that I have met. Oh well, we cant let that stop us, unless its OUR Dog or Cat! :-)

I like Zoe...it has zing. I think, even though the spelling is horrendous to me, that the actress, Zooey Deschanel is bringing around again.

And it's a legitimate name - means Life in Greek. It broke the top 50 last year, but I don't know anyone by that name in my area.

Also - I thought these were good posts on human names/pet names....

Zoe is cute. I know a dog named Zoe, but it doesn't sound like a pet name to me. It's obvious how to pronounce.

This.

It's also what DH is naming our daughter, but I think we may put that dohicky above the e to make it sound long. LOL Good luck!

Zo-ee.  That was another one of my concerns.  I was hoping that was obvious.

 I love the name.  I think the pronunciation will be a non-issue since it such a popular name (#17 for 2009 and I bet it is much higher for 2010).  I prefer the spelling Zoe over Zoey because Zoey makes me think of Joey.  Everywhere around me, baby girls are given the name Zoe/Zoey lately.

This name is becoming quite popular, if you love it use it! its super cute, but the popularity of it nixed it from my list. :-) happy hunting !
