I hope this doesn’t sound odd, but I always think about your mother in reference to Zoe now — that’s how surprised and interested I was to know of one from her generation. I grew up with four in my grade (not uncommon to have two in a class) and have met several since then. To me, it was one of the common names. My parents commented way back in the day how surprised they were that it was so common — they’d never known one. “We just had six Susans,” said my mother.

I like that you gave the name to your daughter (and then she gave it to hers! So cool) — I think it pairs beautifully with Victoria.

I’d love to know what she’d feel about it if she could meet all the lovely young women and cute babies named Zoe everywhere now.
