Def without.

It lends itself to lots of middle names. Do you have any contenders?

Without! It looks like a misprint for "Joey" with it.

Sorry but the voice of dissent is here.....
I like it with. Only as it is a bit different.
There's an actress called Zoey Deschanel (I think?).

Zoey - the girl will spend her entire life saying 'no, Zoey with a y'.

I like it spelt Zoe but think its quite hard name to find a second name to go with it.

Zoe Nadine

Zoe Louise

Mmm not sure of the above

what are the two dots over the e about hongkongzoe - is that a european thing?

i actually like the name Barbara, don't ask me why, i just think it is so retro that its cute. i had a great auntie Babs....lovely lady with pile of frothy blonde hair.

Zoe Belle really does seem to go nicely actually.... i'm going to write it down in my special book....

Zoe May? or Zoe Mae?

I love Mae as a middle name, which i know is an unpopular thing to admit on MN, and already have a Mae middle name for my DD1....

DEFINATELY NO Y

don't like Zoey though

Couldn't agree more and I also have a new niece called Zoe Elizabeth which I think is just perfect!

There is no reason why you cannot use it twice! Might give a nice bond for them when they are older?

MrsHappy · 09/06/2009 15:32

Strangely I like it more with the Y. Not sure why...

I reckon it goes with lots of middle names

Zoey Marianne

Belgo How do you do that? Are you typing on a european keyboard?

Boodleboot I think its from the original greek spelling, the dots are called diareses, so you pronunce the e 'ee' iyswim. I like Zoe Belle... I get called that by a friend..

I like it and Zoe Elizabeth is cute 70s retro somehow (I went to school with one)

Without the y definitely - it looks like a naff add-on with the 'y'.
