I love the name Zoe, and the fact one of my best friends has that name only adds to its appeal. I could see myself one day naming a daughter Zoe, but here's the thing:
Apparently, no one can spell or say it!
Well, that's an exaggeration. But every time she gets a new teacher (we're in high school), he/she reads it and and says "Zo". Or when she goes to Taco John's and they have the receipts they keep to know which name to call for an order? They inevitably misspell it, anything from Zoey, Zoe (with the dots on top) and once, "Zowie".
Obviously, I wouldn't want this affliction on my daughter, so tell me: Is Zoe fairly rare in the U.S. and the big wide world in general, despite how much ppl seem to like it on this site, or is this just a South Dakota thing and most ppl are familiar with the name?
