Zoe? Zoey?

[Anonymous]

Zooey Deschanel. I prefer the Zoe spelling.

I work with a very well-educated, well-respected woman named Bambi.

After getting to know her, I was talking to my brother and actually said, "Her name might as well be Jennifer!"

Ever since then I try not to judge based solely on name alone. Having said that, no Y. Zoe.

I have a Zoe! She's a tiny little peanut, but she will stand up for herself. She'll be kicking ass and taking names some day.

No Y, but people will often spell it that way (including my brother - grr)

And FWIW, she's the only Zoe in her daycare.

Love it! Out of all the names we've come up with, Zoe is the first that's really making me smile. Thanks guys!!

Zoe Saldana is pretty badass.

Zoe Washburne from Firefly is really badass.

Sigh. Why is "the boardroom" always seen as the ultimate life goal on these name threads?

There is no need to end up there or even to desire to, but it would be nice not to limit the kid's options before she is even born.

Because it's the easiest way to get a point across. Boardroom, lab, engineering office, courtroom, airplane, whatever. Satisfied?

Only someone unintelligent will dismiss someone solely based on what their parent named them. One of the law partners I work with is named Brandi. Smart people look beyond things like names.

Wow, I'm surprised we got through a whole page before someone nitpicked.

I will not encourage or dissuade any career option a possible direction she chooses. Relax, and stop assigning intentions from one sentence.

I agree, but that doesn't mean there aren't dumb people out there in charge of hiring. Smart people also consider all possible options and potential consequences of a decision they make, especially when it involves their children.

We are having a Zoe in less than 2 weeks (hopefully!).

Rhymes with Joe, not Joey. After my husbands grandmother. I think it's a great name but I'm obviously biased.

As in Rachel Zoe? That's what everyone will ask you. And it'll be pronounced wrong for her whole life.

What a peculiar non-sequitur.
