HelpRe: Zoe
in reply to a message by queenv
Thank you for sharing you personal story and honesty. Your description seems to fit my own mind, but I need some outside opinions to confirm it. I am considering the serious decision of changing my name and this keeps staying in my head.
My own name is so overdone that it drives me crazy! (Jessica) And, it never really seemed to fit. I was supposed to be a Jennifer during the complete oversaturation of that one. But, my mom thought she was being wise to quickly change it to Jessica. Well, that wasn't exactly unique within a few more years. So, I run into them everywhere! I still hear little kids in the store getting yelled at and turn around, too. Conversely, I don't personally know a single person with the name Zoe! :) Nice!
Anyway, I'm rambling. Thanks so much for the insight. I really appreciate it.

be careful!
I changed my name as well, and neglected to check on the popularity of the one I chose - I soon found out that Chloe was the name du jour for babies and meet more Chloes every day. while Zoe isn't nearly as popular as Chloe, it is still high up there - and with Chloe being so very popular, I often suspect that Zoe will be picked by parents who think they are escaping popularity - like your mom did with picking Jessica over Jennifer!
If you are ok with possibly being surrounded by more Zoes in the future, though, then all is well!
