Love Sophie, not so keen on Sophia. I only know one young Sophie though two young Sophias - I know it's very high on baby name lists but do you know lots? There are none at DD's nursery of 30 kids.

Four Sophies at DDs pre school. There are hundreds personally that would put me right off. My friend that named her daughter Sophie now regrets it - they have to use her middle name as a double barrelled name to differentiate her from all the other Sophies. There are lots of nice names out there never understand why everyone seems to pick the same 10!

It was my number 1 choice for my DD, but a friend called her DD Sophie 3 months before I had her and so I changed.

I really like it - I think its very pretty.

Several Sophies at our local primary,mainly over sevens.

I know four adult Sophies (20-35 yrs old), and two teenage Sophies. I only know of one little Sophie, of about 8 yrs old. It is a sweet name, and popular, but obviously not as zeitgeisty as it was 15 or so years ago, when it was the Olivia/Isabel.

Has there been a law passed that says every other girl needs to be called Sophie?

I mean it's a nice name, but it's a tad dull. Sorry.

babyblabber · 23/04/2012 10:56

weird, my cousins are sophie and amy and i know another sophie and amy siblings set now that i think of it!

i have always loved the name sophie, since i was a kid i always wanted to call a daughter sophie. DH prefers sophia and sophie has been top 5 here in ireland for about 10 years so for that reason we decided on sophia for a girl's name and i have now come to prefer it!

Every 2nd girlchild I meet these days seems to be called Sophie, Sophia or Amy! They are lovely and popular names

TwllBach · 23/04/2012 10:14

I like the name Sophie a lot, it is all soft and feminine without being overly girly

whenskiesaregrey · 23/04/2012 10:10

Ooh spooky, we are going for Sophia, and my name is Amy!

BretstheBoomKing · 23/04/2012 09:55

Very freaky AberdeenAngusina Shock I am a Sophie, and my sister is an Amy . They must just go together. Love Sophie btw, it's a great name to have.

AberdeenAngusina · 23/04/2012 08:34

I know 4; one aged 20, one aged 14, one aged 10, one aged 2. I don't know any Sophias. It's a great name, go for it.

Incidentally, two of the four Sophies I know have sisters named Amy, and a third has a cousin Amy.

toobreathless · 23/04/2012 00:35

I know four:

Two adults in late twenties.
One aged 2.
One aged 5.

FondleWithCare · 22/04/2012 22:56

I know 2, both in their 20's.

mayanna123 · 22/04/2012 22:45

I know several Sophie's aged 10 and under.

iloveACK · 22/04/2012 22:41

I love the name & know 3 (ages 3 & 5).

AliceInordnung · 22/04/2012 22:26

I know two 14 yr old Sophies and one 14 yr old Sophia. I think it's such a classic it won't be tied to any particular generation.

PinkChampagneandStrawberries · 22/04/2012 22:25

I know 2 and there is another 2 in Ds class

SandStorm · 22/04/2012 22:24

I know 4 or 5 but I still love the name.

SkipTheLightFanjango · 22/04/2012 22:22

I don't know any Sophie's here. Love the name, almost used it for my youngest.

emsyj · 22/04/2012 22:21

I know one Sophie who is just about to turn 1. I love the name too.

I know 3 Sophias. Like that name less.
