[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoe.  It sounds like some sort of disease- "my child was infected with Zoe..."[/quote]

This is my problem with Addison. Except that it's [i]actually a disease.[/i]

Horrible.[/quote]

The name Zoe is Greek. It means "life." I'm sorry the pp thinks it sounds like a disease, but that shows how little the pp actually knows. We selected the name Zoe for our daughter because her birth actually was a triumph of life out of disease. It's a beautiful name and it suits here. And shame on you for being so disgusting in your dismissal of it.

Addison literally means "son of Adam," so it's completely inappropriate for a girl. No, we don't have an Addison. [b]But comparing a name to a disease? Reprehensible. The two people who wrote these two posts should spend some time reflecting on why they think this way and what it says about them as people and what happened in their lives to turn them into such wicked shrews. Who compares a name to a disease? [/b]Wow.[/quote]

I was going to say this but you beat me to it. I am also Greek and plan on naming a daughter Zoe (using George for a boy). I see quite a few culturally specific names being dogged here! [/quote]

I'm not going to go looking for the bolded post, but no one is [i]comparing[/i] the name Addison to a disease, it [i]is[/i] the name of a disease, one affecting the adrenal gland I believe.

And as to "culturally specific names" being "dogged": though I find it had to believe that people are unfamiliar with the name Zoe (it's been mainstream, if not popular, as long as I've been alive), we don't all come from the same cultural heritage. Expect varying degrees of confusion when you use a name out of the mainstream.[/quote]
