[Opinions] Re: Zooey and Cote
in reply to a message by Megan
Zooey? "zoo-ee?" Not my style, although I love Zoe ("zoh-ee")
Cote? "co-tee?" Not my style either. It reminds me of Cote d'Ivoire, which has a gorgeous sound when said all together and in a French accent. But Cote I would say "coht" and that's not your pronunciation. The only other thing that comes to mind is coyote. Not pleasant.

I love Zoe as well. Zooey sounds like you're describing something zoo-like ('this place smells zoo-ey'). There's an actress named Zooey Deschanel, but she pronounces her fn ZOH-ee, despite the spelling.
I think there's an actress (or character? on NCIS maybe?) named Cote who pronounces co-tee. No idea how legit it is. I abhor Cody and anything that sounds like it, though, so this does nothing for me, either.
ETA: Yep, I just checked. Actress Cote de Pablo is on "NCIS". Her real name is Maria.
