I don't think anyone was saying that the "Z" was pronounced like a 
"J"... were they?
When I first saw the book I automatically thought the name was 
pronounced like "Go - Pee", but as soon as my brain actually took the 
time to register that there were two "o"s, I thought it must be 
pronounced like "Blue - Key". I really like the first pronunciation 
better but I suspect that the second one is right.  Besides, isn't 
"Zoey" like Go - Pee a girl's name?
