Thoughts on Zoe? Is it a bit dated / 90s? Do you know any?

Lovely name. I know one age 12.

Zarinea · 02/04/2021 21:18

Love it. I see it as classical, not dated!

I know several in their mid 40s. I was very popular in the mid 70s! I do know a few younger ones, around 10 and a couple in their 30s.

I know a five year old Zoe & a forty year old one. I think it’s pretty timeless.

RavenT · 02/04/2021 21:20

Love it Smile

SquigglePigs · 02/04/2021 21:21

I love it. Definitely one on my shortlist. A pretty recognised name but not too common either.

MiniMaxi · 02/04/2021 21:22

Biased. Love it!

RiaOverTheRainbow · 02/04/2021 21:22

I like it a lot, though I prefer it spelled Zoë.

2pinkginsplease · 02/04/2021 21:23

love it .
Our Zoe is 18 and loves her name.

greendress789 · 02/04/2021 21:23

I know 2 under age 4

partyatthepalace · 02/04/2021 21:43

Lively and a classic

WisestIsShe · 02/04/2021 21:44

Lonely name.

PandaFluff · 02/04/2021 21:50

It does say 90s to me but I think 90s names are coming back. I like the Zoey spelling too.

DramaAlpaca · 02/04/2021 22:07

Lovely. As someone said, it's timeless. It has a nice meaning too.

CarnationCat · 02/04/2021 22:09

I don't think it's timeless. Definitely outdated.

BettyOBarley · 02/04/2021 22:09

I like it! Don't think of it as dated.
There is a Zoe in my 7yo DDs class.

AnneFuckingKirrin · 02/04/2021 22:13

It’s definitely a classic.
I really like it.

RefuseTheLies · 02/04/2021 22:13

There's a Zoe in my 5 y/o daughter's class. I love the name.

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/04/2021 22:14

Love it.

MrsFin · 02/04/2021 22:15

Love it, but it should be Zoë really. The dieresis over the e shows that both vowels are pronounced. So Zo-we. Without the dieresis the pronunciation should be Zow (as in low, not cow).

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 02/04/2021 22:20

It's okay, not a particular fave (I tend not to like "ee" ending names though) - but I don't think it's dated, I've met a few of different ages. I personally prefer the sound of Eve which has the same meaning.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 02/04/2021 22:21

Or Xanthe if you want the "z" and "ee" sounds is also lovely imo.

StarsOnAMat · 02/04/2021 22:23

I know a ten year old Zoe. I wanted to use it if I had a girl but I have two boys.

sarah13xx · 02/04/2021 22:25

Lovely - there’s a Zoe at my school and she’s a really nice wee girl. My best friend growing up was also called Zoe and she was the only Zoe I knew. Very short and simple yet nice!

PandaFluff · 02/04/2021 22:28

@MrsFin I never knew that thank you.
