I like Zoe as a first name - but what goes with it?

Elizabeth, Louise, Eleanor? Needs two+ syllables I think, and something fairly traditional, but can begin with either consonant or vowel as long as vowel doesn't make 'ee' sound.

I have a Zoe and really wanted to give her the middle name Charlotte but DH insisted on a family name instead...

Agree that a ong name is needed. My DSis is Zoe Christina.

Oh no! I thought I was getting consensus on a long name! Quite like Zoe Elizabeth...

Surname is long (many letters but only four syllables, which is something, I suppose)...

idrilis - what are these "one syllable simple old fashioned middle names" of which you speak? I refuse to use Rose (although I'm not exactly sure why).

My middle name is Jeanne, so I also think short middle names work well

Zoe Charlotte
Zoe Miriam
Zoe Emmeline
Zoe Georgina
Zoe Juliana
Zoe Louisa
Zoe Annabel

My Zoe's middle name is Eleanor but it's also my mothers name. Obviously biased but Zoe is a lovely name

hackneyzoo · 26/10/2011 00:39

i'm called Zoe and my middle name is Barbara, please don't inflict barbara on your child Grin

SlinkingOutsideInSocks · 26/10/2011 02:38

OP - I like you, purely for rejecting Rose! Grin There are, officially, enough little girls with the middle name Rose.*

Well I would never normally choose it myself, but I think Zoe Valentina sounds fabulous!!

Zoe Clare

Mummy2LZ · 26/10/2011 03:31

I have a Zoe Kate Smile

CountingDown321 · 26/10/2011 09:15

Zoe Alexandra.

This was my top name for ages, then I realised the French pronunciation of Zoe would bug me too much! Sad (We live in France).
