  Zoe>Zoey>Zooey

  
  

  When I see Zooey, I always want to say zoo at the beginning.

  Zoe....... Zoey looks aweful and made up IMO. I believe the true spelling is with 2 dots over the e. An old co-worker had it spelled that way.

  The two dots are to indicate that the ´e´ is a separate syllable. It´s done in several languages, including French and Dutch. (Just thought I'd mention that.)

  
  

  I'd definitely go with Zoe. Pretty much everyone will know you're supposed to pronounce it 'zo-ee' so the 'y' is completely superfluous IMO.

  I prefer Zoe.  Adding the y looks superfluous.

  Zoe is the proper way. I've seen Zoey a lot but that doesn't make it right. I've seen Zooey too, which is horrid.
