Thoughts on Zoe?

SissyKate21 · September 2009

What does everyone think about the name Zoe for a girl?

(pronounced Z-oh-ee)

Love it? Hate it? Don't care either way?

FutureMrs.Steen · September 2009

I really like it

MrsWindyCity · September 2009

Love it and there's a good chance we will use it.

I absolutely LOVE the name Zoe. It's one of my top choices, unfortunately DH hates it so we'll never get to use it. But I think it's great!!

It's very cute...but with all the Sesame Street I watch nowadays, I automatically think of Elmo's bff Smile

MrsDonk · September 2009

Love it! It's on our list.

I like it, but my mom named her dog Zoey, which kind of ruined it for me...

Anyway, I think it's cute.

i think it's funny that you provided a pronounciation for this name given the fact that 1) it's quite common and 2) your pronounciation is no different than the typical or common pronounciation...not trying to be mean or snarky, but this was just my first thought.

anyway, i like the name zoe. i think it's really cute!

ValentineBB · September 2009

Like it.

I think of a little girl or a cat.

I can't see a 40 year old Zoe.

I'm not a big fan of Zoe. I think it's cute for a little girl or teenager, but I have trouble picturing an adult woman (or an old woman!) with that name.

Also, I know at least 4 "old lady" (lol) Zoes. BUT I'm Greek and it's a fairly common Greek name, which is why. The Greek way is also to pronounce it with the emphasis on the E, although if we go with the name (if we have a girl), we'll do it the "American" way (although my family will probably use the E emphasis).

Us too...

love the name, we can't use it because 1/2 our family's last name is Zois (pronounced Zoeees). They'd definitely make fun of her.

PS - Zoe is life in Greek, if you were wondering

. You'd be surprised. I was complaining the other day because I saw an ad for that Rachel Zoe show and I hate how her last name is pronounced "zo." DH didn't believe me that that was the typical spelling for the first name "zo-ee." And, unfortunately, I don't think he's the only one!
