My name is Sophie. Thinking of naming new baby Sophia

I love my name and she is due the same week as me :)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Sophia is a lovely name, as is Sophie but I wouldn't recycle my own name for one of my daughters. I'd not be keen on using a variation on DH's name for a son either, I think it's odd.

Use Sophia as middle, your baby might feel differently once adult and it will be confusing for many people and confusing for paperwork officials.

Lots of people do name their dc after themselves. Personally, I'm not a fan. I think it either looks egotistical or lacking in imagination.

However, if you like it, go for it.

We have two names that start with the same sound but are otherwise different (think Bella and Benedict) and its a bloody nightmare. Don't do it!

Probably nobody will say it to your face, but most people would find this seriously weird.

Do you plan on any more children because it will be hard to come up with a matching name for dd2. Would you give a future son a matching name with his dad?
