Sophia - classic or trendy?

[breadandhoney]

I know Sophia is an old name but to your ear does it sound classic or trendy?

Classic.

But there are an awful lot around at the moment - especially if you include Sophie and Sofia as well.

Oh definately classic!!

I'd say classic but gaining popularity.

Classic but very popular at the moment

not very common where i live. LOTS of sophies tho. however, my name is lauren and i grew up with a lot of lauras but never knew another lauren. made me feel a bit special that my name was just a little bit different.

Classic and beautiful.

Classic. It's fashionable but this doesn't make it any less classic, it's the "non-classics" that will sound more dated in a few years.

classic ,i have a sophie 19 :)

Bit of both for me. There seems to be loads born here lately...I much prefer Sophie.

classic

I love it. Classic.

trendy - there are 2 in DS Reception Class

I love it.

I think its because Sophia seems to be an international name - have friends who are Pakistani, Russian, Cypriot, Ghanaian and English who all have a Sophia/Sofia/Sophie! Culturally it fits their backgrounds.

i like that about it too. it travels well, so to speak.

Too popular - lost any specialness for me as there are so many of them.

My DD's name - we wanted something that was classic and outside the top 50 but the year she was born it them climbed into the top 50. Ah well, I think it's beautiful

Classic - a lovely name (mother of a Sophia)

It was quite an unusual choice 15 years ago, however it is very common now I think.

Ah well I still think it is a beautiful name. My daughter, however, hates her name. Typical.

Trendy is my first thought.

Sophia- trendy unless you're from France or Italy.

Sophie- classic.

Classic, cross-cultural and currently trendy. But gorgeous.

In the primary school where I teach we have a Sophia, Safiya or Sofia in every year group.

Sophie = classic
Sophia = trendy

Trendy.

Sophie is FAR more classic.

Much much much Sophie.

Sophia just seems bit "grande dame" to me for a little girl. I would expect Sophia to waltz around in marabou feathers and pearls.

ophie is lovely and much classier.

Er, that's "much much much PREFER"

and "S" ophie... eek, really shouldn't drink in the day.

Classic and very pretty.
