Love Saffron as I have one!!! I love Thea but it seems to many "F" sounds to be altogether. Saffron Rose is beautiful (wish we had used that now!)
Sofia is also lovely.... They are very similar as we call Saffron.. saffy or Saff which sounds very similar to Sophie or Soph.
Thea Rose is also nice? You have lots of lovely options to choose from x

Saffron Lucia works better than Saffron Thea as there's a clear demarcation between the names. Saffron Thea is a bit Saffronthea.

What do people think of ...

Saffron Lucia

??

I have always loved the name Lucia as my mother is half Italian but would not use it as a first name as it often gets mis pronounced. Or do you think we should stick with Saffron Thea ?

Thanks for all your comments :) a real help x

Saffron is really lovely.

burgatroyd · 24/09/2014 05:36

Saffron!

DramaAlpaca · 23/09/2014 22:12

Saffron Rose or Sofia Rose, although I'd prefer Sophia Rose.

wigglesrock · 23/09/2014 21:59

They're both lovely, I have a Sofia so it'll get my vote Smile. She's 9 now and I still love her name as much as I did when we picked it.

Frikadellen · 23/09/2014 20:24

Saffron Thea Just love Saffron as a name

CruCru · 23/09/2014 20:19

Saffron Thea. People will misspell Sofia as Sophia which may irritate you.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 23/09/2014 17:52

Sofia Rose.

Molotov · 23/09/2014 17:46

Molotov - yes I have heard of a Saphia spelt that way .. maybe that is a thought as Safia Rose sounds lovely without being so popular as 'Sofia' Thanks :)

*Sofia Rose

Molotov · 23/09/2014 17:09

Lovely choices OP. Personally, I would choose Sophia Rose.

Alternatively, there is the Arabic (I think) form: Safiyyah. I think that loosely connects Sophia and Saffron, in terms of sound at least Smile
