Zoe

[BirdsAndBlips]

What do we think of Zoe for a girl? We don't live in the UK and I'd like to check what people think of this name if we ever come back. Thanks :)

Isn't it spelled Zoë?

Great name.
Many people don't bother with the accent because people in the UK aren't set up for it so it makes life hard.

Dislike I’m afraid

It's really lovely.
Ticks all the boxes for me.

Lovely

You don’t need the accent in English now, just as we don’t put it on Chloe either. It’s like words such as naive, where it’s OK to leave it off. Zoe with an acute accent isn’t right at all, though.

I really like it as well.

I thought it's naïve, Chloë and Zoë?

I know a Zoe in her 60's. she's the coolest person I know

I have a Zoë and she has always had compliments on her name, she was the only one throughout her primary and secondary schools.
She went through a stage during primary where she didn’t use the umlaut, but she prefers having it now, as do I.

I love the name Zoë

I love it but with the diareais (it's not an umlaut!) please!

Lavender, you can write all those words exactly as you have written them, but you don’t need to any more. Naive without the accent is now the first spelling in the dictionary, but the other is there too.

You’re totally right! I’ve been calling it an umlaut for years

Pp for blacklamb

I like it. I don’t know why it’s become less common, it should definitely make a come back.

Love it!

Great name!! There were 9 in my sister’s year at school, who are all kid 40s now. I know 3 or 4 who are about 8, it is growing in popularity. It’s quite cool, a bit hippy.

Love it!
