What do you think of Zoe?

Tommysgirl252 · May 2010

We've been struggling with names for our LO. We have a 3 yo daughter named Adeline, nn Addie. What do you think of Zoe Kathleen? Zoe because we like it, and Kathleen after both of our sisters. Thanks!

My cat is named Zoey.

It's a cute name, but nms for a person.

lovemytwoboys · May 2010

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Zoe.

I do think it goes well with Kathleen though.

j_luvs_r · May 2010

I love Zoe.

And to PP, just because you name your pet a human name, doesn't automatically take it off the market as a human name.

EllaandLuca · May 2010

Love Zoe ... would have named our daughter to be that if it didn't rhyme with our last name! Smile

GettinNervous · May 2010

I don't like it.

jessicadw · May 2010

I absolutely love the name Zoe and I think Kathleen is a wonderful way to honor your sisters.

Hmmm, I think it would be weird for me to name my daughter Zoe since my cat is named Zoey...no? She asked a WDYT question...and I told her what I thought. No harm, no foul.

Oh, it would definitely be weird for you to name your child Zoe(y). I just meant that a name doesn't automatically stop being a "people" name just because someone uses it for their pet.

Totally this to PP! And to OP, I like Zoe, but I like it spelled with a y or ie or something on the end to indicate that sound. When I see Zoe I think "Zo". JMO.

And I agree with you. I didn't say that a name is a write off for everyone once it's used as a pet name. Zoe is not my style as a human name simply b/c my cat is named Zoey. Smile

Zoe is the traditional spelling which I think most people know how to pronounce.

A friend from high school that I stalk on facebook named her daughter Zoe or maybe she spells it Zoey. It works for her, cute kid too.

I like it but I can't use it cuz she would know I stalk her.

krissyh21 · May 2010

My friend is names Zoe, she was annoyed all the time with people pronouncing it wrong all the time - in HS, she stopped trying and was known as Zo. (just a heads up)

It has become more mainstream in the last few years - I have been hearing it a lot, so I assume the majority of people know the correct pronunciation now.

It is NMS, but it is not a bad name. And both your names sound really good together.

mam885 · May 2010

I loooove Zoe! Zoey is good, too, but I'd think most people would be able to pronounce a classic name like Zoe properly.

Sounds good with Kathleen, too! And I love the sound of Zoe Kate.

swilker · May 2010

I like it and I would spell it Zoe. That is how it is spelled and most people know that.

alohamora · May 2010

I think Zoe is fine - NMS, but fine. I just don't know if it sounds good with your other LO's name.

mr&mrswelch · May 2010

I think it's fine.

Kimmy1836 · May 2010

I like the name Zoe.

I also disagree with a pp, the spelling Zoey is awful.

themrsC · May 2010

I like it, but I don't feel like its a name that grows well. To me, it kind of sounds like a little girl name. Hope that makes sense!

BabyS. · May 2010

I LOVE Zoe, unfortunately DH hated it - so we have Ryleigh instead! Zoe is a great name.

I agree, it's nms, but I think the traditional spelling (Zoe) is much better than adding a y or ie.

mchupie · May 2010

I don't like it at all, sorry!

hawaiibride04 · May 2010

I like it.

amh_81 · May 2010

DH and I really like it.

kalu10 · May 2010

I'm not a fan of the name. Especially not for a grown woman.

Tommysgirl252 · May 2010

Thanks for all the feedback, ladies! I Some of you actually answered a few questions that I didn't ask... like if people would mispronounce it. DH likes Zoey, but I like Zoe better, so we're debating about that.

I can understand someone not wanting to use a name after they had/have a pet named that... a lot of people- me included- give pets human names. It would be hard to then use that name for a baby! Not that other people couldn't or shouldn't...

misskaydee · May 2010

I really like Zoe, but only when its spelled Z-o-e.. no y. I also love the name Kathleen!

Good luck deciding! DH and I are going with Zoe too, but can't decide on the traditional spelling or Zoey. My due date is in a week, so hopefully we can agree soon!

I like it for a golden retriever. Not so much for a kid.

Exactly! Our dog is named Sammy, but I don't mock people for choosing to name their kid Sam. WE are the goofballs who gave a dog a human name.

And I looove Zoe. But I prefer Zoey...
