There would be a 12 year age gap. What do you think?

I say no.

Sorry - agree with the others. If they were both your own daughters, you wouldn't dream of it.

Sorry, no. It wouldn't be right.

absolutely agree with valiumbandwitch. If they were both your 'own' daughters, would you even consider calling them Chloe and Zoe? No of course not. So why should DH? Enough said!

ps, one of the dragons (could be Peter JOnes but I am not sure) has an annabel from his first marriage and an isabel from his second marriage and I do remember reading that and thinking, meanly perhaps, that that showed a slight lack of sensitivity or imagination....

But maybe everybody will disagree with me and I will discover I need to loosen up!!

No I wouldn't. Zoe is a beautiful name and I love it, but it would kind of make me wonder if you cared what his first daughter was called. It's just going to look like you liked zoe and you knew (obviously) that he had a Chloe, and even though it'd be obvious to a child that zoe and chloe sound comical together, you used Zoe anyway, just because you liked it. Sorry if that is not what you want to hear....

What about Zena?
