Zoe - meaning 'life'. What better name?

Gah @daisypond I wrote ë first then got distracted and changed it thinking it was wrong, I blame sleep deprivation

Emilia is my favourite but both are lovely

Maybe choose a name personal to you.
If any of those are personal then chose this one. Hop this helped x

Of the two, Emilia would be my choice, though I'm not crazy about it. I really dislike Zoe, for some reason.
Chloe, also, so I think it's just the sound I find displeasing...

Zoe sounds a bit eighties to me.

Emilia. There is a very beautiful poem by Shelley:

To Emilia V -
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory -
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed -
And so they thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on ...

Zoe, definitely. Emilia is bland.

Tillygetsit · 02/07/2020 23:23

Zoe.

I don't like either but would choose Zoë as Emilia is beginning to sound a little dated.

Rubyandsaphire · 03/07/2020 13:04

Emilia is lovely.

Zoe would be my choice, although Emilia is lovely. There are a lot of Amelias/Emilias/Emilys currently.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 03/07/2020 14:14

Zoe. Much more unusual and a really lovely name.

Zoe. & you don't need the ë - keep it simple.
