Zoe

• spunky! How many Zoe's take life too seriously?
• This name is a classic which is definitely not over-used! It has a rather strong, yet exotic sound that I like. It seems like the name of a strong, independent woman to me. It means life, which gives it a feeling of vibrance and a certain presence.
• Its just a gorgeous name.
• feminine yet spunky. Very modern sound
• This is one of my cousin's name and she's really cool and I've always wanted a name like this one .
• I haven't come up with a middle name for Zoe but I think anyone with this name will have a great personality.
• Zoë: It is just so cute and spunky!
• Zoe Brianna: no real explanation here. i think it's just that i adore the meanings. Zoe means "life" in greek, and in celtic, brianna means "strong" so i want my daughter to be full of life and to be strong
• Zoe Erin: it is short and simple.i work at a daycare and zoe is the name of my favorite kindergartener and i have always liked the name Erin.
• Zoe Linnea: My favorite girls name is Zoe Linnea (lin-ay). I love it because it brings to mind a flower child- artistic, free-spirited and feminine yet also fiesty and tough, sticks up for herself. This is what I pictured when I came up with the name when pregnant and it's exactly how she turned out - 8 yrs. old and she already knows exactly who she is and what she wants!
• Zoe Louisa : My favorite book when I was little is called Stonewords, and the two main characters in it were named Zoe.

Many people like to spell Zoe with the diaresis on the 'o' (like Zöe). This is wrong, because the diaresis (2-dot-thingie) actually makes it so you pronounce the "e" as a separate letter from the "o". Without the diaresis, Zoe would be pronounced Zo (like Jo). The correct way is Zoë.

Zoe comes from a Greek root word meaning 'life.'
