From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Zoey yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
We went with the Y spelling because our last name starts with a Z and we liked the visual balance. Zoey Zhang. The Zs talk to each other.

My daughter corrects people who spell it Zoe. At age six. She feels very strongly about the Y and has strong feelings about a lot of things. It fits.
— Nathan, Denver CO, 2018
