It's a gentle name, but everyone around me seems to be calling their daughters Sophie or Katie currently. Having been one of many Claire's growing up I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but then I like to stand out a bit.

I prefer Sophia personally, but if you love it, go for it!

Beautiful. I love it x

Boring

spottydott · 16/05/2018 23:15

I think Sophie is cute

my husband told the nurse his choice before I woke up

Aside from the fact that that is a shitty thing to do, a nurse is no kind of official name register.

You could have just said ‘no it’s not’.

I have a a Sophie Rebecca too @justabadwife ! She’s 11.

I was against the name but I was unconscious when she was born, and my husband told the nurse his choice before I woke up.

I would have preferred something floral or arty like Daisy, Genevieve or Demeter. Sophie is a sappy name. Luckily my daughter is strong and clever. It means wisdom. Her BFF is Sophia.

Nice name

Whatabloodysaga · 16/05/2018 22:25

Love it. Timeless, pretty and classic.

Not yet ever met a horrible Sophie.

It was high up on our list of girls names 22, 20 and 17 years ago, but I have 3 boys so it never got used.

bridgetreilly · 16/05/2018 22:14

I think it's a bit wet, personally.

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 16/05/2018 22:11

I don't understand why people always say they'll be kids of the same name in the class when talking about common names. I've taught about 15 sophie's in my time and never had 2 in the same class. However I've currently teach 2 sets of 2 girls with the same name in the same class yet I've never even come across another child with either of the 2 names before! Look up how many even the number 1 name on a list is used and you'd be surprised.

If you like a name- use it!

cedoren · 16/05/2018 21:51

Best name ever

MrsCD67 · 16/05/2018 21:50

It's ok but a bit bland (like another poster said; it's a bit like Emily)
There's so many Sophias and Sophies around that the name is too overused IMO although you could say that about lots of other names too!

funmummy48 · 16/05/2018 21:41

Love it! I have one too 😀

Muddlingalongalone · 16/05/2018 21:41

I have a Sophie and love it. I have to admit I must have been living under a rock because I didn't know how popular it was! But at least she can get stuff with her name on😂😂

TatianaLarina · 16/05/2018 21:39

I think there are 2.5 billion other Sophies in the country.

She will always be Sophie Treez or Sophie T.

Justabadwife · 16/05/2018 21:39

I have a Sophie.
She is Sophie Rebecca

RoseMartha · 16/05/2018 21:36

I like it but it is very popular so if you want unusual you may want to think of other names or use it as a middle name.

solomonsfish85 · 16/05/2018 20:40

I have a Sophie and emilee too 😂😂

hampsteadholly · 16/05/2018 20:34

Love it

ForTheLoveOfSleep · 16/05/2018 20:25

@midsomermurderess I have an Emily and a Sophie 😂

MikeUniformMike · 16/05/2018 20:21

Very pretty and popular for a reason. Prefer it to Sophia/Sofia.

MrsMozart · 16/05/2018 20:17

Like it Smile

BigSandyBalls2015 · 16/05/2018 20:17

Me too 😊

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 16/05/2018 20:16

Barleyreed I have Sophie Elizabeth Grin

DramaAtTheTurkeyCafe · 16/05/2018 20:11

I think it's popular for a reason - it's a pretty yet not fussy sounding name, with a good meaning and plenty of history behind it. I like it.
