My 25 year old DD is Sophie, it is a beautiful classic name. She was the only one at school with the name.

Sophie because it's my name too! I think Sophie Jack sounds nicer overall as well.

Sophie!! Its my name, Im 26 and I dont hear of that many anymore I think it was quite popular around the 1990's but has been going down the top baby names list for a while.

Sophie!!

MamaLazarou · 11/01/2012 15:16

Sophie! It's more classic and therefore less likely to date. Florence is pretty but a bit too trendy. Sophie is much nicer than Sophia, which is a bit overused at the moment, IMO.

Sophie

Sophie - a lovely classic name.

NadiaWadia · 11/01/2012 14:58

Sophie is MUCH nicer - a really pretty and classic name. Florence is just stodgy, sorry.

bigbluebump · 11/01/2012 14:43

Neither for me too. Both are very 'trendy' and widely used already.

MrsJohnDeere · 11/01/2012 13:20

Florence. Sophie and Sophia are very popular here.

SubordinateClaws · 11/01/2012 13:16

Neither! Go for something more unusual.

Littlecherublegs · 11/01/2012 11:43

Love Sophie - is on our shortlist!

Suppose it depends where you live. There are 3 at dd s pre-school and 2 in other dd s class.

I like Sophie Jack. The thing about popular names today is that they are not nearly so popular as they were in the past. Just over 1% of baby girls were called Sophie in 2010, so you would expect one in each school year.

kerala · 10/01/2012 14:20

If you go for Sophie prepare for there being at least 2 others in most of her classes.

3boysgirlontheway · 10/01/2012 14:17

Did you not just ask this yesterday or is my baby brain worse than I thought?

Florence gets my vote anyway!

timetoask · 10/01/2012 14:13

I like both, but my vote goes for Florence.
