Thoughts or alternatives to Sophie

Hi there,

We are really struggling with potential girls names, currently Sophie is our only contender but I would be glad of some other ideas.

Will Sophie become dated or is it classic enough?

We seem to lean towards more classic simple names, I don’t like anything super frilly. Eve had been on my list but veto’d. I’m also trying to avoid anything super trendy. Any suggestions in a similar ball park would be appreciated! ☺️

GreenShady I agree, Marina is a lovely name. I also love Serena in a similar vein.

Sophia is more current atm I think.

Sylvie is similar (to me anyway)
I like Sofia too.
I will chuck in my grandmother's name Marina too as I think it is such a lovely name!
