Is Zoe dated?

[whygrey]

I've suggested so many names and dh dislikes them all.
He has suggested Zoe which I don't love but could probably live with but is it a bit dated?

I love Zoe! Although it’s past its peak of popularity, I would class it as one of those names that has stood the test of time and will stay semi popular for a long time. Familiar but not overused.

It's a lovely name!

Age wise it's in the same world as Megan, Sarah and Hannah but not in the same world as Debbie, Yvonne or Carol

Not really. It’s popular in our area though with 3 in our small primary school with my Zoe (now a teenager) and I know a little one. Also know a 20something and a few in their 40s.

I don’t think it’s dated but I’m biased! I think it’s ageless, but I was hoping it wasn’t as popular as it turned out to be!

I don’t think it was ever popular enough to be particularly dated. I think it’s a lovely name.

I’ve always liked Zoe, but I only know ones in their 40s and 50s.

It's not dated at all. It's timeless. And it's a lovely name.

No, not at all dated.

Zoe (or Zoë if you like) is a classic, timeless name. It is ancient Greek for 'life' so has been around for millennia but imo is still fresh and lovely 🙂

I don't think so. We know four Zoe's aged 5 and under. It's a good name and works for all ages.

Beautiful name :-)

I know 2 born in the same month of 2022, one being my DD 😄 it works for all ages, can imagine it on newborn and 90 year old. Everyone knows it. Everyone likes it (except you it sounds like 😂). Friendly. Far from overused. Fun with the ë.

Seriously don’t choose a name you could ‘live with’ for your lovely DD.

I know several in their 40s or 50s but I also know a 21yo called Zoe

I like it and don't feel it has ever been popular enough to become dated in the way that some names do (Karen, Lisa, Michelle, Julie etc)

I think it's back in vogue. I know one who is 18 months.

Beautiful name, classic and lovely.

I think it’s lovely. I also like Chloe.

Not at all, there's a wee Zoe in my nursery class right now. I think you're just ahead of the curve!!

My best friend is Zoe. She's 51.

It's a favourite of mine - have always loved it and was so close to choosing it for DD because I had a dream whilst pregnant that I'd named my baby Zoe. In fact I still ruminate on that! Team Zoe here ❤️

Makes me think of the blood sugar app thing now.

Prefer Chloe.

It's great it's like hannah or Rachel or Megan. It's a girls name without being twee or flowery.

LOVE Zoe and dd (12) has 2 friends called Zoe/ Zoey. I shortlisted it for dd but in the end we chose something else as Dh preferred the other name and I couldn’t decide between the two.

I don't love but could probably live with don't settle for a name you don't at least like

I love it and dont think it’s dated at all. I think it technically needs to have an accent of some sort otherwise it should be pronounced like “sew” but i think it’s nicer and simpler as Zoe.

I think Zoe is timeless and lovely. There are never very many of them. It's classic and classy.

I'd spell it Zoë

Otherwise it might rhyme with Joe
