User Comments about the name Zoe


  • Comment left Nov 18, 2009: "I'm a Zoý :) it feels weird to call myself "a" Zoý, implying that there's many more of them, even though I know there is. I'm from Sweden and I've never met anyone else called Zoý in my life. Love the name though!! I had no idea it was getting so popular :O" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Nov 08, 2009: "NOPE BUT PEOPLE DO CALL ME ZOE JUST BECAUSE OF WHERE I'M FROM. RIGHT HERE ZOE MEANS SOMEBODY THAT HAVE THE STRENGTH AND WILL ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Oct 29, 2009: "I'm a zoe (not a zoý, zoey, zoee) and remember being thrilled the day that Zoe the monster debuted on sesame street (with proper spelling, pronunciation and personality to boot). It's becoming unnervingly popular, however, which actually makes me feel surprisingly territorial! Zoe is the next megan, sarah, etc. Anyway, still love my name, and am totally shocked that the random nicknames my friends have come up with throughout the years (including zosif, zozo-bean, zozo, zobo) are not unique to me! ha." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Oct 23, 2009: "I'm also a Zoe! It's really weird to read these comments and find out other people have the same nicknames as me! Including zozo or another one is zobo. People always say they love my name. When I was little I hated it, and I wanted a normal name like Sarah! Haha! But to all the Zoe's out there, we have a pretty awesome name, so love it" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Oct 10, 2009: "I spell my name Zoe, with two dots over the e. My parents didn't give me this name, they spell it with no dots on my birth certificate. But i love the dots and it's very Greek, right?" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Sep 24, 2009: "Ihave a beautiful 3 month old baby girl that took me 5 years and a surgery to conceive. Zoe Isabella was the purfect name for her because Zoe means life and Isabella means beautiful. Ther go "beautiful life"! I chose not to use the umlauts because I thought it would be hard on her later in life to have puncuation in her name." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Sep 08, 2009: "My 9-year-old is named Zoý. Those dots above the 'e' are called diaeresis, not umlauts. They tell the reader to pronounce the two vowels separately and not together. 'Zo-ee', not 'Zo' as in the name Joe." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Sep 02, 2009: "Hey! I'm another Zoe-with-two-dots-over-the-e. I must say, I've also experienced the horrors of teachers calling me Zo or spelling it with a y. Hehe. After reading this it seems that I've shared many of the same problems with spelling and pronunciation as you guys. I love this name, and have for most of my 17 years of life. Nicknames that my friends called me have included: Zo, Zozo, Zee, Zed, and Zoshive xP Awesome to see so many people with the same name =D" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Aug 23, 2009: "Hey, I'm a Zoe, too! I don't have any umlauts, just z-o-e. My friends think I should have a full name, so they call me Zodra, sometimes. Sometimes, people think that without a y, it's pronounced Zo. I think that's ridiculous, and it really bugs me. I've never met a Zoe pronounced Zo. I also hate it when people spell my name with a y." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 14, 2009: "Hey I'm Zoe too. A lady at my child care once called me 'Zoe Double Dot' coz I have dots of the E too, though my parents told me they're called a 'diaresis' or something. Once my french teacher got angry at me for calling it an umlaut lol. People call me Zozie, Zozo, Z-Dawg (dunno wha that's about) or Zoj or Zojo. I sometimes call myself Zoe-Joey lol :) Go Zoe's for LIFE!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 11, 2009: "I also have umlauts over my O and have never come across another Zoe spelt the same way - as for people saying the correct place for the umlaut is over the E, pronunciation wise you're right but as these days people tend to pronounce Zoe correctly without any umlauts at all I think it's fine to place them anywhere- it's still different. In truth I rarely use mine, I haven't done for a long time, as companies etc... have never placed them on correspondence, regardless of me using them to begin with." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 09, 2009: "My daughter is 10 and her name is Zoe, with the umlaut over the "E"! (The correct spelling/placement). I love her name...the full meaning is life in/through adversity...very beautiful." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Aug 05, 2009: "Hey, im a Zoý too! im 13...woot woot GO ZOES!!! I think its an awesome name cuz its short, and it means life!!! i absolutely hate it when people spell it zoey...grrr. sometimes im called zozo, zo-zee, zo, uhmm omg my babysitter used to call me Zoella De Vil, like Cruella De Vil from 101 dalmations lol...and i have a friend and her name's zoe, but wiithout the umlauts. (i think it looks bad, but whatever). she calls me dot, lol cuz of the umlauts!!!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 22, 2009: "hi my names zoe i like it and its bein difrerent but dis boy in my class keeps makin fun of it so its kinda annoying...some people spell with y but its relli not...so yh dats my experence , bi zoe" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 20, 2009: "Hey to all you zoe's out there with umlauts over the 'o. I am 13 and i've never met anyone else with the same spelling! My friends call me zo, zozo, zozo-bean and zoz!I don't mind being called any of these nicknames, but i don't like people spelling my name with'y'!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 20, 2009: "My names Zoe with the umlauts above the o. So far I haven't met many Zoe's with is good which means I don't get confsed often. I hate it when people put a y on the end. My friends sometimes call me Zo or ZoZo" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 18, 2009: "i love having the name zoe (with the umlaut, of course!) because its short, sweet and different (i mean seriously, who else's name starts with a "z" and has an accent?). but, i hate how it's getting so popular. also, i absolutely cannot stand it when people do not put the umlaut on or they put it on the "o" (which doesn't grammarically make sense anyway) or spell it with a "y" (thank you "zoey 101" for that!). people these days are always trying to abbreviate names, too. im not "zo" or "zozo" or anything else- i'm zoe (with "two dots over the 'e'"!) :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 14, 2009: "hi my name is zoe and i hate it when people try to give me nicknames because there are no goodones but i love my name anywayi would really like to meet someone with my name i didnt know there were soooo many zoes out there ~~~~~zoe~~~~~" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 01, 2009: "Okay! I looooovvvveeee my name. Zoe so fits me and I love that It means life! I'm 13, and I've gotton used to the umlats over the "o" (I have them over the "e"), and being called Zo by accident. I'm not happy when people spell my name with a "y" at the end though! That is my pet peeve!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 01, 2009: "WOO my name is Zoe and I live in England and am 13. Never met someone else called Zoe ;o I Love my name but my Religous Education teacher calls me Zo. I think its cos shes blind though. I am scared to correct her cos she is really strict. Tryin to think of other reasons of why she calls me Zo. Any ideas anyone?" (Report as inappropriate)
