Stuck between these two, which would you choose and why?

I think Sophie is nicer but Fiona a bit more original ☺️

Sophie.

brambleon · 03/11/2021 18:53

I like Fiona

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 03/11/2021 18:49

Bored of Sophie. I know one Fiona and shes awesime.

Aspiringmatriarch · 03/11/2021 18:46

Fiona. It's a beautiful name. Sophie is nice too but there are soo many Sophies around.

Duploisthebest · 03/11/2021 18:46

Fiona for sure.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 03/11/2021 18:45

Fiona. Definitely.

Fiona. Sophie is so common it makes it rather dull.

Sleepinghyena · 03/11/2021 18:36

Fiona

MajorCarolDanvers · 03/11/2021 18:35

Both are beautiful.

Sophie edges it for me. But you wont go wrong with either.

Fiona - it’s a bonnie, bonnie name.

AliceMcK · 03/11/2021 18:29

Fiona definitely

sageandbasil · 03/11/2021 18:28

Sophie

PinkSyCo · 03/11/2021 18:28

Oh is Fiona making a come back? It’s actually a really pretty name and not as common as Sophie.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 03/11/2021 18:03

Fiona would seem fresher on a baby as Sophies are ten a penny these days.

Twizbe · 03/11/2021 18:03

Fiona, much less common than Sophie.

DelphiniumBlue · 03/11/2021 18:01

Fiona.
Because there is at least one Sophie/Sofia in every class I have been in for the last 2 decades. I haven't met a young Fiona since the 90's. And it is a lovely name, strong and historical. And everyone can pronounce it.

I have a Fiona. She’s nine. It seemed like a simple classic name that was a bit Celtic in origin.
