Without the Y

JeanLouiseFinch · 10/06/2009 22:30

Much much better with the Y

sophiesmummie · 10/06/2009 21:57

I actually quite like Zoey, but if most people expect it to be spellt Zoe, perhaps that would be safer.

poppysweetie · 10/06/2009 18:54

I like both spellings would probably stick to the original though.

jellybeans · 09/06/2009 19:29

I'm feeling very now! I said she was Zoe Elisabeth, I was sure it was an s too, but then you all started posting Elizabeth and I've had to go and check her birth certificate as I couldn't remember!

She's a Zoe Elizabeth - oopps! Wonder which spelling I used to register her for school......

hester · 09/06/2009 18:56

Zoe Josephine
Zoe Miriam
Zoe Eleanor

??

Going with the three syllable theme here, which may or may not work with your surname.

BikeRunSki · 09/06/2009 18:56

My sister is Zoe Christina

lotspot · 09/06/2009 18:52

normally i hat names with th selling played around with but in this case i think it looks quite nice tbh - will be mis spelt though

the name itself is neither a love love love name nor a name which you think what were they thinking?....just a name!

SesHasFinallyBecomeAMum · 09/06/2009 18:37

My niece's name is Zowie! Always makes me think my SIL is a Ddavid Bowie fan! (She's not!)

Nancy66 · 09/06/2009 18:31

Without the Y - with just looks wrong

Tidey · 09/06/2009 18:27

I like the name either way. I quite like the 'Y' actually.

bellissima · 09/06/2009 18:24

Just reminds me of the boy in Franny and Zoey - or was that Zooey - J D Salinger (innit?). Well you could name the next one Franny...

lechatnoir · 09/06/2009 17:46

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

earthpixie · 09/06/2009 16:40

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

hongkongzoe · 09/06/2009 16:34

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..

Zoë

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 Anna
Zoey Clare
Zoey Marianne

What's not to like?

dingledangle · 09/06/2009 15:31

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

BakewellTarts · 09/06/2009 15:31

DEFINATELY NO Y

By bumpybecky on Tue 09-Jun-09 14:31:11
I've got a Zoe Elisabeth

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!
