This just looks as if the parents were too dumb to spell. It also looks as if it should be pronounced ZOY-ee instead of ZO-ee. I would strongly advise not to settle your daughter with this ugly spelling of the beautiful name Zoe.
And no, it's not creative, it's just dumb. When you call your little Zoie on the playground all the other little girls named Zoe, Zoey, Zooey, Zowie and Zoee will still turn around because it sounds exactly the same. It will only cause problems for your kid.
