Name Pronunciation

posted 11th Oct
ok so i am naming my daughter Zoe (like Joey but with a Z ) and i know for a fact you can pronounce it two different ways Zoe like Toe, or Zoe like Joey. well everyone reads it and goes ohh... Zoe (like Toe) an it just gets under my skin. my husband and i do not wanna add a "Y" at the end because we like it Zoe but argh it frustrates me.  
what do you say when you read ZOE??

i say Zoey lol but i think tehre is a symbol you put above the e that makes it pronounced Zoey. it's 2 dots im pretty sure.
or you can just leave it Zoe and correct everyone. i like it spelled Zoe

yeah i thought about adding the symbol but then i thought of all the drama with it like typing and what not so i looked it up and i read you can leave it without the two dots

I say it like Joey with a Z! Zoe! lol. You could do the little dots above the e... but those things drive me nuts, lol. You are going to be correcting people regardless. No one can ever pronounce Kailyn and I thought that was a pretty easy one! lol

you definately can. i just meant for when she's in school people could pronounce it right. but either way cute name. you could add and extra e? but i dunno any other way to get peopel to pronounce it correctly.
i'd just keep reminding people it's Zo-eeeeee. lol most people pronounce the name correctly.
