I had this thought bouncing around my head just now. It wasn't having a whole lot of impact by itself.
---

On the weekend, my Mum told me my real name.

Sarah was my guess. It was a good guess but it was wrong.

My parents were going to call me Angela Zoe.
---

I passed a mirror and saw myself au-natural - still some shadow sure, but nonetheless with no makeup, a mop of fluffy hair going all over the place, and a joking expression.

My name is (Angela) Zoe.
---

It isn't Sarah. A friend just said to me, 'So what, you could call yourself Marie Antoinette'

I responded in zen fashion, 'That isn't my name, either'
---

My name is Zoe.

Zoe,

Happy christening(no religious or any other possible offense intended). I have been trying to find a clever way to ask my Mom(she does not know yet).

That is wonderful,

Joanna

Thank you :~)

I can't believe how well it fits.

I do feel like claiming it indeed.

Zoe is Greek for life... (Think zoos, protozoa and zoologists)

If I had a daughter I would have wanted to name her Zoe...

Echoing above, congrats on your Christening (religious implications aside)

Cool Zoe! I'm going to have to get used to your new name now :p

I've changed too, going with Penny now. My wife's choice.

Thanks guys :~) I have slept on it and made my decision.

If this is my name, this my name. I am going to have to go through the whole name change drill all over again. But so be it!

It really does fit so much better than Sarah. It's crazier, more colourful and fun. I can't believe how right my parents had it ...

* admin - would it be OK for me to make a new account? I would like to change my nick to Zoetrope
