Sofia/Sophia vs Katerina

Which baby girl name would you prefer? Which one seems stronger?
Trying to figure out what suits better for my little one. I feel like Katerina is a bit rigid. However most people in my family don't like Sofia/Sophia, say it's way too common nowadays.

Definitely Katerina if you are looking for a stronger name, though I prefer the Katarina spelling.

Sofia/Sophia both lovely but very popular and not what I think of as strong names.

I love Katerina!

Katerina is lovely

I like Sophia and would add Karina as a suggestion.

Katerina for me. Sofia/Sophia are gorgeous but popular.

I prefer the Katarina spelling, so I'd go with that. It's a fine, strong name.

Serena? It’s a bit of both
