[Opinions] Re: Zoe?
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.

Thank you! Yes Zoe in 1928 would have been rare. My mom was born in the 40's and her middle name was Alice, which now has grown in popularity. She hated her name also. Which was Melva Alice. But Zoe is a nice and spunky name I think and I think it's great that you gave it to your daughter as a MN!
Zoe Camille is a nice name combo. Thank you for that suggestion.
