Sophie or Sophia?

After months of disagreeing on names and with less than 2 weeks to go, DH and I have finally come down to Sophie or Sophia. I realize that one letter really shouldn't make that much difference but one of us really wants one and one the other! Please help us decide.

Also, middle names - we have Erin and Elisa/Eliza, which do you think goes best with which first name?

Sophie is far more timeless, sophisticated and naturally pretty than Sophia in my opinion. Sophie all the way!

i prefer sophie

I much prefer Sophia (and gives you the option of Sophie as a nn) but when it runs into a vowel for a middle name either Erin or Eliza, Sophie does sound better (but how often do you say your full name?)

I wouldn't have two names ending in an "a" sound personally. So Sophie Elisa/Eliza or Sophia Erin I think.

Sophia is so much nicer than Sophie, imo.
Sophia Elisa would be my choice.
(or even Sophia Elise)
