i'm browsing celebrity baby names and i came across David and Angela Bowie's son's name...

Zowie Bowie

i think its absolutely ADORABLE! i usually hate rhyming names but i LOVE the name zoe and i only like it spelled zowie because it goes with bowie.

WDYT?!

It doesn't look like Zoe, by itself. It looks like ZOWie gee willikers.

I wouldn't think that, just because I know David Bowie's last name is pronounced Bohwie.

Zowie Bowie is a boy, and his first name is actually Duncan.
It rhymes with Bowie, so it's now Zoe at all.

It might be a UK/US difference, but I pronounce Zo-ee and Bo-ee the same way.

To put it simply: tackiest shit I've seen in my life.

Were they on drugs when they named him? Because I don't know how anyone sober could think that 'Zowie Bowie' would be a good idea.

I want to say it like ZOW-ee, rather than ZO-ee lol

He's actually Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones. ;) They just called him Zowie. He went by Joey, for awhile, if I remember correctly, and now just goes by Duncan Jones.

Trust me. I'm pretty sure I know my Bowie facts. ;) Has been a few years since I've been COMPLETELY obsessed though...

I can't pronounce that like Zoe... It's Zow-ie to me. I was horrified to see another destroyed spelling of such a good name.

Awful name though, i don't know how Celebs think they can get away with doing that to kids.

I can't say that I find it adorable, but it's still not as bad as, say, Bob Geldof's kids...

I would not have thought it was supposed to be Zoe. I would say it the way it's spelled, like pow-ie. Plus, Zoe on a boy would be weird. I hate it. It's awful. It's just such a stupid thing to do to a kid.

Zoe on a boy is terrible.
