Why We Picked The Name Zoe

After funneling through thousands and thousands of girl names, Mike and I finally (at the hospital, the night Zoe was born) decided on a name. It was a difficult task and here are the reasons we chose the name Zoe:

Zoe means 'Everlasting Life'.

The name is of Greek origin (Mike is of Greek origin)

We wanted a name that would fit appropriately for a Mom, CEO, Judge, President, Doctor, Broadway Star, or whatever she decides to be when she grows up.

We didn't want something that could have a weird nickname, other kids would make fun of, is hard to spell, etc.

Mike REALLY wanted a name that had a 'Z' or an 'X' in it--not too girlie.

We went to the hospital with about six names in mind that we really liked. We decided that we would just have to meet the baby and then determine which name fit best. Zoe was the only name that worked.

    Great choice. How are things going? She is two weeks old today, right? Wow, that is hard to believe! Hey, did you get the latest e-mail about our reunion? We are trying to finalize a date since June is already next week! The two weekends were June 8-10 or June 22-24. Which one works for you?
