It has a special place in my heart because it was my mother's name, and she was born in 1928, when it was a name rarely bestowed in the US. She herself hated it, and everyone else acted like they hated it too, but times have changed. I wish she'd lived to see it become popular. The downside to it growing popular, however, is that I gave it as a middle name to my daughter in 1982 to honor my mother, when it was still very unusual, so the popularity has taken away from the special-ness of that a bit.

I used to hate it. I hated it even when I gave it to my daughter as a middle name. But I've grown to like it.

How about Zoe Camille? That was my mother's first and middle name.
