Can I use Zoe if my DH already has a Chloe?

[MeantToStopAtTwo]

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

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?

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!!

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!

Sorry, no. It wouldn't be right.

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

I say no.

I'm afraid I agree. Never would you pick this for your own children - it looks like you haven't thought / considered Chloe if you do and that's not nice for your DSD

Nup. I wouldn't do it. For all the reasons above.

Agree that is shows a lack of sensivity and imagination.

Have you got a white cat? You could call that Snowy :o. Seriously, NO!

Or if you have a son, Joey. HTH

Meanttostop at two - the question isn't

Can I use Zoe if my DH already has a Chloe?

it's

Can I use Zoe if one of her siblings is already called Chloe?

or

Can I use Zoe if we already have a Chloe?

It doesn't matter if Chloe is your DH's child - she is part of your blended family, not a niece or cousin, and a sibling to the baby.

:o at kreecher, couldn't think of a boys name. Must try harder.

A child called Zoe will have her name mistaken for Chloe all the time anyway, and it will drive her round the flipping bend. If she has a sister called Chloe that will just make it even more annoying. Bad idea all round I'd say.

Don't ask me how I know...

Of course not!

No you can't. Chloe would be pissed off and even if she isn't her mother will be. Why make life hard for yourself?

Your DH should be posting.
"Can I call my DD1 Chloe and my DD2 Zoe?"
To which the answer is,
"No, don't be silly".

Wonders where Op went.

I'm right here. DH is actually very keen on the idea but, don't worry, I doubt we'll be going through with it.

I'm glad to know that's worked OK for you Bluddy. Are they very close in age?

I think it depends on what you think of rhyming names for siblings. Personally I hate them, but I know some people love them. I know sisters called Kelly and Shelly, and other sisters called Macey and Stacey. The very worst (in my opinion) was twins called Abby and Gabby. Not even shortened from Abigail and Gabrielle, just Abby and Gabby. I felt for them a bit, but some people like rhyming names.

I know of someone who has three daughters- Amy, Chloe and Zoe. She's an Australian singer, well known if you're into gospel music.
