I’m 2 weeks post partum and finally decided on the name Sofia for our daughter. Have been feeling emotional every day since birth and this really didn’t help with decision making. The fog has lifted a bit now and I really think she suits Sofia.
However, the reaction from family is that they’re a bit confused about the spelling and one mentioned about it being the capital of Bulgaria.
We chose Sofia with an F as we thought it made a very popular name a little bit different, we prefer the look of it and may be less likely to get shortened to ‘Soph’ which I’m not a huge fan of. We don’t have connections to Italy or Spain etc where Sofia is widely used, but equally we don’t have Greek connections to Sophia either.
But people’s reactions are making me think it could be seen as an odd choice and should we just change it to Sophia? We’re registering her next week.
Am I way overthinking this!?
