When I see Zoey, I feel like it's pronounced "zoo-ey"

Zoe feels more right to me.

Zoe, if she insists on this name. Why is this name so popular? I really don't understand the appeal.

Zoe, because it ends in an eta, which is transliterated as a long e. Zoey is nonsense.

I am most definitely not arguing you because you know all about this and I know nothing. But how does this work? What makes it different from the word "toe"? I always look at this and see "zo".

The difference is that it is a name lifted directly from another language, which is spelled zeta omega eta, so the e at the end isn't actually a silent e. In the ancient Greek it would have been pronounced dz-OH-eh, but with English pronunciation it follows in the pattern of words like Chloe and Ariadne (also names of Greek origin). English actually has a number of different sound rules that stem with varying degrees of faithfulness from the languages of origin for a given word. The es at the end of names of Greek origin are not silent (Andromache, Amphitrite, Aphrodite, etc.).

Ooooh - the examples of Chloe and Ariadne are very helpful, bromios.
