Snao Cone Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The other day I had a dream that some minor AVEN drama tied in with a conspiracy that needed to be investigated by a Katy Perry who looked like Zooey Deschanel. According to the description I wrote down shortly after waking up, it was "part of some vast conspiracy involving radio, lesbianism, Katy Perry, and staying up past midnight". Only three of those things have any relevance to my life. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Homer Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Am I the only one pronouncing "Zooey" like "zoo-ey"? What else would the extra "o" indicate? (I'd have to search engine pictures of Katy and Zoooooey anyway) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's wrong, but when I see the name it always registers as zoo-ey. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first 3 letters aren't a form of tie, more an act a male might do when introduced to royalty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But as it was written in the 1950's (which I didn't realise - I thought it was some 21st century affectation), I'll let it pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely pronounced as I suggested in the very early days. And he named his son (born 1971) Zowie, and it wouldn't have been appropriate for a boy to have a name that sounded like Zoe. So it would rhyme with Bowie. But later in his career it somehow became popular to rhyme it with Joey. I suspect that it was to do with going to the US, (where no-one bows down, ha ha) and Bowie as you know it to be said is easier to their ears. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borkfork Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It might have to do with how we were already pronouncing bowie knife in the States. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
