The spelling of the name "Zoelie" is often a source of confusion. The phonetic transcription of the name in IPA is /zoʊli/. The "oe" combination is pronounced as a long "o" sound, like in the word "toe". The "ie" at the end is pronounced as the long "e" sound, as in the word "me". Therefore, "Zoelie" is pronounced "zo-lee". Proper spelling and pronunciation of names are important, as they are a significant part of a person's identity.
