Zoe's era
Zoe ranked #31 for girls in 2025, against #33 in 2015. Its best year was 2024, at #29. A sibling name from the same wave will sound like it was chosen by the same parents; a name from an older or newer wave can make one child's name feel dated next to the other's.
Timeless names that go with any sibling
These names have been used steadily for a hundred years, so they sit comfortably next to a name from any era, Zoe included.
Girls: Elizabeth, Maria, Lydia, Cecilia, Julia, Miriam. Boys: Samuel, Anthony, Wesley, Vincent, Calvin, Victor.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Zoe's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Zoe's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Zoe or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Zoe itself are excluded.
