This name would sound a lot better if it's pronounced Zaow-ee rather than Zo-ee.

Oh man, I don't like the spelling! I almost thought that this was a comic book sound effect! Please just use Zoe or Zoey.

Nah I prefer Zoe or Zoey better! But it sounds like a five year old trying to say Zoe!

This is the pronunciation of Zoe, not an actual name.

PLEASE just name your kid "Zoey" or if you want, "Zoe". This spelling is TERRIBLE and will definitely lead to confusion when spelling it.

Actually, I like how this name looks. Maybe the spelling is not so nice, but this is a really interesting looking name. Names starting with Z are not used that much. Zowie is quite unusual, rare name and not that bad. Nice name!

It’s such a horrible spelling. I absolutely LOVE the name Zoe. I would name my daughter that. Zoey is alright. Zoie is better than Zoee, Zooey, and Zowie in my opinion, but still not great. Zowie just looks like someone who doesn’t know how to spell a beautiful Greek name. And for all the people that say Zoe looks like Zoh, learn some culture! Not everything has to look so Americanized. Zoe is the classic and beautiful, correct way of spelling this Greek name that means life. Zowie looks horrible.

NO ONE's name is ZOWIE, that's pronounced zoh weeeeeeee! I absolutely believe whoever has this name's parents are very very very very very stupid! I would strongly recommend changing your name if it is Zowie. Zoe is the correct version.

For some reason, 'Z' and 'W' don't mix together well...

This is an ugly misspelling. No wonder Zowie Bowie changed his name.

Zowie looks ridiculous. I mean come on, what's wrong with Zoe? Why do people have to butcher this beautiful name with ugly, creative spellings such as Zowie and Zoie, it just doesn't make sense. Spelling a name in a different way doesn't make it unique, it just makes it look silly and as if the parents were too stupid to spell.

What's with all of the hate, I love this spelling. Zoe is too boring (and looks like ZOH instead of ZO-ee), and Zoey looks as if it's missing something. I used to like Zooey (which I believe is a unisex spelling), but I have a feeling that if I ever named my child that, their name would be mispronounced a lot as ZOO-ee, and possibly have zoo jokes made about them. However, I really like this spelling--especially the "w" in it, though lot of people seem to dislike it.

A hideous, tacky, and childish spelling of a name that sounds quite harsh and youthful as it is.

I think it's cute, but the W in there makes me want to pronounce it like it rhymes with "Wow-ee". And I am also reminded of those hilarious "sound-effect" words they used to flash up on the screen during the old Batman episodes whenever Batman would be fighting the evildoers. You know, "Biff! Sokk! Kapow! Zowie!"

Zoe is a lot nicer. This spelling just adds way too much to a lovely simple name. Plus it looks like something you'd find in a comic book or something.

I don't actually care too much for this name in any spelling (even though I've had several friends named Zoe), but I especially dislike this spelling. I don't know. It just makes me think of my best friends hyper mixed breed dog (named Zoe).

I most definitely would stick to the original spelling! I don't really like most modern names. Some are ok, but the whole "be original by spelling things differently" trend is beyond me. This name just looks silly.

It sounds like what people used to yell when they were excited: "Zowie!"
I cannot stand these Modern English names or their spellings! They look ridiculous and they have no substance or dignity.

I love this name. This is my new name per se. I have went by ZoWie for years. I was about 12 when I started using the name.

A famous bearer of this name is David Bowie's son Zowie Bowie (who has now changed his name to Joe I believe).

Actually Cindy, the name of David Bowie's son is Duncan Zowie. He used to go by the name of Joe, but he now uses his given first name, so now he's known as Duncan Jones. (David Bowie's real name is David Robert Heyward-Jones.)

As previously mentioned, David Bowie's son is named Zowie Duncan Howard Bowie Jones, and he now goes by Duncan Jones. They gave him two middle names "in case he didn't like his kooky name." I remember reading that Angie, David Bowie's wife, picked it because it meant something in an African language, but I seriously doubt that.
I kind of like this spelling as a pseudonym, even though I usually hate kre8tiv names.
