Thoughts on Zoia?

I am not really one for Zoya. The y is not attractive to me at ALL, and it makes me a littla mad. But Zoia has a look I really like, and I like the sound. If my hypothetical partner liked it, I'd consider using it, especially if I am one of my weirder moods. I don't like it more than Susannah, but I do love Zoia.

Zoia is gorgeous. I agree with you on the Y issue too. Zoia is exotic, but I think it would be easy for non-name nerd people to pronounce. It is short and lends itself to longer, more elaborate middle names.

I like Zoya a lot, but I also don't like the 'y' in it. I definitely like it better said aloud than on paper. Zoia is pretty but I think I'd have to get used to that spelling too. Definitely a nifty underused named.

Zoia is pretty nifty. It's so liquid-black and sharp.

I don't mind Zoya either. They both have a lot of flair that I enjoy.

I like it. It has a quirky, upbeat ring to it, and I find the sound of it to be attractive. Paired with an off kilter "old lady" middle name, such as Geraldine or Bernadette, I could see it making me swoon.

I understand being annoyed with certain letters, but why would they make you mad?

Zoia is weird-looking to me, but Zoya is cool. I'd love to meet one.

I know a Zoya so it's hard for me to get into the Zoia spelling. But I do get the attraction in theory. It's a pretty, underutilized form of Zoe.

Zoia is so strong sounding. :-)
