So how many "Zoe's" are there really in the world?
I have noticed that a lot of models, sex symbols, porn stars and actresses pick "Zoe" as their stage name. I suppose they want the name to sound sexy. I have met just one Zoe in real life. She was a librarian, and not by any means a sex symbol. So, how many Zoes really exist and are they really something to die for? Jan 18 13 10:07 am Link I met a stripper once who called herself Jane. Her real, birth name was Desire. Jan 18 13 10:11 am Link Koryn Locke wrote: LOL Jan 18 13 10:37 am Link I've only known one Zoe in my life, as a real name. She was a waitress at the Olive Garden in Albuquerque, NM. I was a waiter at the time, too. She had hippie parents. Jan 18 13 11:39 am Link A quick Google search on Zoe returns 113,000,000 hits. Jan 18 13 12:03 pm Link I wanted desperately to be named Zoe when I was little, I decided this in abbbbouuuut 2nd grade  It's a cute quirky name, I suspect that's why people pick it. Jan 18 13 12:05 pm Link I worked with a Zoe at the Gap. She was from Antigua and looked like a real life plus model. Very cool lady. Jan 18 13 12:17 pm Link I've known 4 Zoes. I think it's a younger person thing, parents are trying to be really interesting and unique with names the more recently the person was spawned. Jan 18 13 12:19 pm Link It's been overused to the extent that we now have a full-blown Zoe trope. Jan 18 13 12:42 pm Link Koryn Locke wrote: I've noticed that a lot actually. If a stripper has a common stage name, then her real name is most likely something really exotic. And if a stripper chooses an exotic name, her name is usually very plain. Jan 18 13 12:48 pm Link I know a Zoe -- she's the niece of my sister's husband, and by coincidence, she lives nearby. She makes wonderful glass sculptures for industrial placements. She kinda lives with her strange father (my brother-in-law's brother) on a farm; her father is kinda a hoarder, with dozens of dead vehicles (including a North Korean army truck) on the property. He also "collects" animals: dogs, cats, goats, rats, what-have-you -- the animals wander in & out of the house. Last time I visited, I had to be de-loused. BTW: the father kinda looks like a deranged Leonardo Da Vinci when he was old. Fortunately, Zoe has her own cabin in a far corner of the property -- she's quite a bit cleaner than her father, but to be honest, I don't like going out there. Jan 18 13 01:23 pm Link Jan 18 13 01:34 pm Link According to www.howmanyofme.com There are 9,454 people in the U.S. with the first name Zoe. According to http://www.themeaningofnames.org/how-po … =zoe&go=Go Since 1880, the name “Zoe” was recorded 86,779 times in the SSA database. That’s more than enough Americans to occupy the country of Antigua and Barbuda with an estimated population of 86,295 (as of May 27, 2011).

Only Zoe I've know was a stripper, and that was her stage name. Jan 18 13 07:18 pm Link I just worked with a Zoey today. There must be a few around, real & stage.  Jan 19 13 08:02 pm Link More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Zoe are female. what about the .1% Jan 19 13 08:06 pm Link |
