Can anybody tell me how this name is supposed to be pronounced?
Is it a one syllable name or is it a 2 syllable name (sort of
rhyming with Chloe)?
I like the way it looks written but am not sure how it's pronounced!

I went to school with a girl name Zoe (she pronounced it like Chloe).
I think it has a Russian background.

I'm a little late but...
According to a book I have, Zoe is a Greek name and should be
pronounced ZO-ee. I love the name! I did a teaching practice
in England when I was in college and we had a little girl in the
class with the name.
I also helped a good friend of mine come up with a name for his
female kitten. You guessed it... Zoe!

This is a year late, but I couldn't resist. My name is Zoe. I
always pronounced it like Joe, only with a Z. I think it is a matter
of preference of the parents on how it is pronounced, but originally
it is a Greek name meaning "Life." In Greek it is pronouced Zo-ee,
but you need to spell it with two little dots (like a German umlaut)
over the "o". When I was born 30 years ago, this name was very
unusual, and I loved growing up with a name that was different.
It is becoming very popular now, though. By the way, it is also
the Hebrew word for "this".
