@sel2223 , the Sofia spelling is gaining popularity and I have nothing against it. Not keen on the Lilly spelling but Lily is nice, and it's a middle name, so it matters less.
There are a lot of Sophias and Sofias around, if that's an issue for you.

I'm not too bothered by popularity, our other first name choice is Leyla..... although I'm not 100% on either of them at the moment.

It's hard trying to find names we both agree on that work in both countries and languages.

DD1 we agreed a name almost instantly but we're really struggling this time.

Our surname is 'foreign' as my husband is not British born. The spelling Sofia with 'f' instead of 'ph' is because of how it will be pronounced and written in his first language/ with his family etc.

I take your point about spelling Lilly/Lily with a an extra 'l' although I've always preferred it that way

Spell it Lily or she'll be 'Sofia-with-an-F, Lilly-with-2-Ls'
If the surname is Thompson, she'll also be 'Thompson-with-a-P'.

Not keen on Jade, I think 'jaded'
