Sophie vs Sophia

[balroymum]

Our baby girl is due in less than a week and we are pretty much decided on 'Sophie Beatrice' although I prefer 'Sophia Beatrice.' Have tried to convince hubby (subtly and not so subtly) but to no avail. Does 'Sophie Beatrice' still sound pretty? The middle name is a family name for us both so at least we both agree on this part - what are the chances of my lovely hubby changing his mind once she is born or should I give up on Sophia?!

I prefer Sophia, and would pronounce it Sof-eye-ah.

If it were spelt Sofia, I wouldn't know whether it was Soff-ee-ah (like the capital of Bulgaria) or So-fee-ah (which is how some people would say "Sophia" anyhow).

I like Sophie

Sophia is a prettier name but Sophie flows a lot better with Beatrice. i vote Sophie :)

Sophia is far superior.

Sophia.

Sophie is nice but Sophia is beautiful.

Sophia Beatrice sounds much better. And you can always shorten Sophia to Sophie but it's harder the other way round.

Sophia is much nicer and less common

They're both pretty but I prefer Sophia - would have been my choice for a girl (grandmother's name) but my brother got in first!
