This name is perfectly fine for anybody. Besides, just because it is overused doesn't mean you can't use it. A long time ago, names like Ashley or Jennifer were unique, but now look at them.

I think it makes people look really dumb to spell this name without the diareses on the "e". Besides, if you don't spell it Zoë, it makes it a lot easier for strangers to pronounce the name as "zo".
This is my name. To the people who commented above (to the Zoe spelling): I am taken seriously by people, my name has not detracted from my credibility. This is a wonderful name, especially with this spelling. :)

I think the name sounds quite harsh with the 'z' at the beginning, and also with the ''oh'' and ''ee'' sounds following one another. Chloë sounds softer. The name sounds a bit youthful despite being nothing new.
A beautiful ancient name and faintly bohemian. I chose this name for my daughter because we are practising Christians and the name is used a lot in the New Testament (Greek) and refers to eternal life in this context. There is also a St. Zoe. I don't know why some people think it's a modern name -it's been around as a name for centuries, but has just had a resurgence in the UK over in the last few decades or so.

My name is really ZOE, but I like to be known as "ZOË". For people that say this is a child's name and when the person is 60, it will sound weird, well that's what everyone thought when they named their children Hilda, Penny, Lilian, Julie, etc. When I am in my 60s, it will be considered a formal name. And I can't help that my name is Zoe.

I simply adore this name. Ever since I started reading the Percy Jackson series, I started to associate people's names with the characters. Zoë is definitely in my top 10 favorite characters in the whole series.
I associate this name with a strong, independent girl.
