My cousin is [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] M-------. I like that idea because her initials spell out her name. Z.O.E.(M.)
Of your list I like [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] most.
I’ve been wondering forever, what is the point of the umlauts over the E? I know in [name]German[/name] the umlauts don’t do anything when you put them over an E and in English, it does nothing. So what’s the point? I’m just curious, so please don’t be offended.
I voted for [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] but I don’t like any of them as is. I don’t like [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] because the E’s blend together. I like [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name] by itself without [name]Elizabeth[/name] as a second middle. [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Iris[/name] would be my second favorite without [name]Elizabeth[/name].
The umlauts ensure proper pronunciation of the “e” sound on the end of the name as opposed to leaving it to possibly be pronounced to rhyme with “toe”
No offense taken 
Also curious what you like if none of them as is??
[name]Ah[/name] okay. I would encourage you not to add the umlaut because the [name]Zoe[/name] I know with an umlaut, most people just don’t add it on and even the little girl herself doesn’t write it in her own name. Besides that, all the teachers at the daycare, upon seeing it, tried to pronounce it in every way possible but [name]Zoe[/name]. The umlaut just confused them. I don’t think you have to worry too much about it being pronounced wrongly since its super popular and a very familiar name and to me, [name]Zoe[/name] with an umlaut just looks like a misspelled word to me as [name]Zoe[/name] is a Greek word.
But if I can’t convince you with my examples, it’s not the worst thing I’ve seen.
for the middles, I like [name]Annika[/name] and [name]Iris[/name], which are both beautiful with [name]Zoe[/name], I just don’t like [name]Elizabeth[/name] with any of these combos. I think the E at the beginning on [name]Elizabeth[/name] and the A at the end of [name]Annika[/name] run together and the S at the end of [name]Iris[/name] hisses together with the Z in [name]Elizabeth[/name]. It’s not too bad, just my personal preference.
I thought that [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] was kind of hard to say, due to the ee-ee factor. I like [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] the best (and thus voted for it), but [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] would also be nice.
Personally, I don’t find [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] difficult to say because I pronounce [name]Elizabeth[/name] more like A-liz-a-beth. That being said, I prefer [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name] on its own because it goes so well together but you obviously want to get [name]Elizabeth[/name] in there somehow, so I voted for [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I just hope your last name is short.
While I love the idea of two MNs (and each of my children will have two) and the names [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Annika[/name] individually, I like the simple [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] as a combo best. [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] would get my second vote.
Good luck!
I didn’t vote because I’m not sold on any of the combos. If it were me, I’d drop the [name]Elizabeth[/name] and go with just [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Annika[/name].
Same as [name]Ash[/name]!
I like [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] the most, but I’m a fan of alliteration:)
