Zooey

[Tibby2]

Just met a little girl and nursery called zooey, not Zoe, Zooey pronounced ZooE what do you think to this name? I quite like it!

Not convinced by any name which rhymes with poo-ey.

DS1 would have a field day

Suet is nice, but it's a boy's name. The female version is Suette. HTH. LOL.

I think Zooey is lovely, and I thought it was pronounced zoo-ee and I think of it as a girls name and its much nicer than Zoe so go for it. My teacher friend had a girl in her class cslled Sian, when she called her name out for the register as 'sharn' the girl said"no, it's seeyan' miss'.

Ahem, even though OP responded very negatively to my post, I am glad that she picked up on my Zuey suggestion.

OP, I fully expect you to invite me to be godmother to poor little Baby Zuey.

God knows she'll need someone sane to rely on.

Cannot believe that people get this uppity about a name. Come the fuck on, people. By all means say you dont like it or prefer an alternative spellibg but seriously....the vitrol on this thread is shameful.

And compared to some of the clap trap on here, Zooey is positively Biblical.

Pity it's not triplets. You could have Hughie, Dewey and Louie.

Thank you mashup and mynameiskenadams, thats all i expected was 'no i dont like it' or something along those lines if the poster didn't like the name. I know im being over sensitive and ridiculous but ive found this thread really upsetting.

Tibby dont fret. Theres someone on another board considering Ptolemy.

Seriously.

I'm not a fan OP I prefer Lyla, as well I think it sounds nicer with Tilly.

Don't take it personally, baby names on mumsnet is worse than the outside if ritzys on a Saturday night.

How about Alice.

It's my favourite name today.

I think gooey when I look at it

My best friend is called alice :) i prefer the quirkier (apparantly absurd names) :)

I like quirky names. My list (dd is one of these names) is

Liv
Olive
Meg
Vada
Tess

Haha and her MN is Alice

My friend is Tess, in school she got called Tess-tube.

It's pretentious and may even cause bullying. Zoe is much nicer - classic but a bit unusual and not too common.

Stella? I love that name but DP has a rep for liking a pint and I do not want anyone thinking I named a child after his favourite drink.

Lovely names ken.

Lyla is beautiful and goes nicely with Tilly (which is also lovely).

I like all those names Ken there really pretty ill put them forward to DH thanks. We love Willa but doesn't go with Tilly. DH is a big fan of flora too

Like stella too but again have a friend with that name :/

Now Flora is really lovely, OP.

The Tilly I know of has a sister Flora.

Faerie bells it may yet be triplets my scan is nxt week. Hughie, dewey, louie and zooey would require 4 babies, here's hoping hay! Then you can be god parent 4 times over!

Flora may grow on me, theres plenty of time yet! X
