Zoe, Zoë, Zoé, or Zoey?
Do you like the name in general? Which accent do you prefer? I actually like the sound of all of them but Zoe makes me want to pronounce it as ZOH. Not zo-ee. I kinda prefer Zoë, has more flair to it. Zoey isn’t horrible either. Zoé I don’t care much more._______________________________________________________

I dislike it, it's so twee. I also want to pronounce Zoe ZOH, so I'm not fond of the spelling. Zoë is my favourite.

I like Zoë the most. Zoe looks unfinished to me, Zoé is too specifically French, and Zoey is silly.Zoë is one of my long-term favourite names, but my wife isn't a fan alas.

As it is Greek and not French I wouldn't go for Zoé unless I lived in France.Zoë would show that the E is pronounced separately but I am not sure if it actually makes that much sense because in Greek is it spelled in a completely different alphabet so I am not sure whether Zoë would be more correct than Zoe.Also, everyone knows by now that it is ZO-ee, it was an incredibly common name.I would just use Zoe. At this point (with it having been so overused) the Zoë spelling just kind of looks like you tried to make it more special.Zoey is terrible terrible terrible.

I'm used to Zoë - the name of a friend of my mother's -but if I were to use it, I'd make it simple and use Zoe. After all, nobody feels the need to use Chloë - or do they? Not that I've ever seen. And if anyone tried to make it rhyme with Joe, that would be easily corrected.

I like Zoe the best. I’m not really into accent marks, and Zoey just looks stupid for the lack of a better word,
