Is it boring?

Me and hubby have long been idly chatting about potential baby's names and most of his I have vetoed initially but then found them growing on me.

One name he mentioned was Zoe and I immediately ruled it out and said it was too boring. However, after weeks of thinking about it, I now actually really like it!!! I'm still worried that it is a bit plain though?

Our surname only has 1 syllable....so would the name seem too short??

My sister is Zoe and our family nane is only one syllable. Never been a problem. As long as you have something other than Eve/May in the middle. My sister has 2 x 3 syllable middle names .

Think its very nice, I prefer shorter names which can't be made too much shorter, so would be looking for something no longer than two syllables for dc2.

Our surname is Wise. I'm just worried it doesn't sound right??

Sorry that was unclear....I mean I don't think it is too short.

No because Zoe is two syllables.

How many letters in your last name?
