Is Zoe a girls name?

[Angel4791]

I have three skin kids two boys whose names are Aiden and Kaelen (typically spelled Aidan and Caillan) I know many girls by these names as well. It just depends on your own preferences. Also I've found with kids and pets people ALWAYS tell you what they think, good, bad, or otherwise... even when you don't ask their opionion! Go with what you feel comfortable with and shrug off the negitive... imo they're jealous because we all have such great fur babies!

Shar-Lee & Finnigen (he's named after the dog on my favorite Canadian kids show - Mr. Dressup)

I've only heard it as a girl's name, but I don't see why it couldnt be a boys name. After all, he is YOUR dog, not theirs. They're not the ones who'll be taking care of him for 12-16 years!

You're right!! He is my dog!! I love the name Zoe so long live ZOE!! He is sooooo cute as all of your doggies are. I will post some up of this handsome BOY really soon.

Thank you for all your comment! Its weird but I feel like I can traumatize him with a girly name.

I have never heard it used as a boy, but I don't suppose your doggie cares. I have a friend who named her little girl doggie Zoie. I found this:

Since 1880, a total of 0 boys have been given the name Zoe while 45,579 girls were named Zoe.

Zoe
... as a girl's name
Origin: Greek
Meaning: Life Giving

Unisex names are changing these days. Look at mine! I tried so hard to name my daughter a feminine name because of mine, my mom's and my sister's names. (Toni, Robbie, Lee) Well when I chose Ashley for my daughter, my grandmother made SURE to remind me that her name was originally a boy's in the movie Gone with the Wind!

I like the name Zoe, but I have mostly heard it used for a girl.

It never hit me but, yes, Ashley is a man's name in "Gone with the Wind". I always like the name Ashley but I don't think that's a good name for a boy these days. I mean why make it tough on the kids at school.

Oh, I haven't meet any boy named Zoe, yet. But I don't really think it needs to be changed - or maybe just the spelling.

Ashley (as in the movie) was a family surname. Frequently, in those days, families used family surnames as given names, therefore, Ashley, in that case. Some people still use the practice, but mostly it's an old practice.

Thanks. I didn't know that. You really don't know what you would learn here in YT. Thanks again!

I've had him for 2 weeks, should I change his name? (he's not really responding to it yet.) If I should then do you guys have suggestions?

One of the girls I work with just named her daughter Zoe, and I remember thinking: for a girl??? But that's what people tell me. I think you should name it whatever you want. Don't let people tell you otherwise.

I love the name Zoe....... Obviously It's a mixture of my son Zack and my daughter Chloe!

[cchu]

awww...that is sooo cute to mix up the names!!

Thank you all.... I have decided to keep the name Zoe. Its perfect just for HIM.

[hle_625]

I say to ignore what anyone says and if that is the name that you wanted him to have then keep it. It is not anyone elses puppy to be naming so keep what you like.

I named my female westie Billie!!
