Hmm, okay?

My daughter has a girl on her soccer team whose name is Zooey. Not pronounced  "Zoey", But  "Zoo-e".

Anyone have any explanation?

    Her parents were stoned/drunk when they filled out the birth certificate?

    The Actress pronounces it Zoe, which is incorrect, but thanks to the actress's fame, has sparked a trend of people who want to name their child Zoe but instead name her Zooey. The parents on the soccer team pronounce it correctly. Though, I wonder, are they also using it as a nickname for Zachary -- WHICH IT IS.

    Reminds me of Franny and Zooey. In that story, Zooey was a boy, though. Anyway. I like Zooey Deschanel a lot, but I don't love the way she spells her name. It confuses others.

    I hate people naming their child Zoe but spelling it Zooey.  While I don't like the Zoo-ey pronounciation, at least those parents are pronouncing it how it's spelled.
