Of these two names, which would you pick?

Additionally there were four of my name in one class one year in the 80's yet I barely know any now.

And btw there are no other Sofia's in her class and only one other in her year (5)

I have a Sofia so I'd say that. The Sofia spelt this way is also less popular

Both pretty names but soooo so popular (which would put me off)

Sophia (spelt like that)

Sorry, neither. They are nice names but there are so many Ella's and Sophia's right now. Either one will likely end up having to qualify their name when they get to school. Imagine if your dd ends up being 'little' Ella, or 'big' Ella, or perhaps has to use her full name every time because the other Ella has the same last initial.
It's like the Sarah of my generation. I know a 'work' Sarah, a 'neighbour' Sarah, a 'big' Sarah and a [sport name] Sarah.

Sophia.

Neither. I know too many of them already. Sophia is a nicer spelling.
