Its meaning, history, and connections are undeniably interesting to those who seek details, but I am afraid that the general population of those you meet likely will not relate it to what you've said. Zoe is just Zoe to the majority if individuals... a known name, ranging from common to uncommon (depending on location and year), and sweetly endearing in it's young, feminine flair.
I am certainly not trying to waver your opinion and decision, Justinian.
It is a cute, legitimate, entirely usable name, though not fully my personal taste (in regards to it's sound).
