[Opinions] Zoë
in reply to a message by Atlanta
The accent captures the quirky, zany, and slightly dark spirit that I feel Zoe has. It gives it sparkle and pop.
I don't think Zoe is childish. It is an ancient name; I think of Byzantine empresses, glittering golden mosaics, and obscure saints.
I think Zoey (or even worse, Zooey) looks more childish. I think it all depends on which names you pair it with. queenv's daughter Victoria Zoe gives the name a great deal of regal flair, and similarily something like Zoe Margaret, Zoe Catherine, or even Zoe Lucille have an air of maturity. If you pair it with something faddish, like Zoe Grace, it comes acress as very childish simply because the odds are that Zoe Grace will be under six years of age.
I quite like Zoe and I just think its mishandled in most cases.
