how many sophia's do you know?

[mamaesi]

I have always liked the name but I just hate that there are so many...

can you suggest something like it? does popularity put you off too? or should i just stick to what I like...hmmmm

I've only ever met one, she's in her 30s. Sophie used to be very popular when I was young, but don't seem to meet so many now.

I know one middle-aged Sophia, but no little Sophias.

I have one (almost a year old) but I don't know any others. Sophie certainly seems more popular. Sophia is a little different and just beautiful :)

1. One my age, one old lady & two girls under 5.

3 sophias and 3 sophies, all under 7.

One, age 5. Sophie was very popular about 10 yrs ago, though.

I know 3.

One is 12 months old
One is 2
The other is 6

I have a Sophia, and she's fab! I don't know any other Sophias, but know 3 Sophie's.

I've heard that it can be pronounced 'soph-eye-a' rather than 'soph-ee-a' so that could make it a wee bit different if you fancied? (Although my DM pronounces it 'sophie-a' despite being corrected a million times! )

I know one little Sophie, but Sophia is even more of a hard name to live up to, as I believe it is the correct pronunciation of the greek word.

there is one in Ds's class who is 6, I know of 2 toddler Sophia's (friends of friends) and one baby one.....

I much prefer Sophie.

I know a Sophia who is 7

Five x Sophia/Sofia and four x Sophie.

sorry - should have added, all primary school age.

Much prefer Sophie myself. THey will always be asked if it is Soph-ee - a or Soph- eye - a.

2, both about 4 although one is a Sofia.

in my office are at least 15 (big office) and I know quite a few more other sophie/sophia in all age groups. how about other versions of that name like sonia?

I have a Sofia - just turned 6, she's the only one in her primary school

Peter and Abby Crouch named their baby daughter Sophia...

I am aware of many more Sophie's than Sophia's. I really wanted the name Safiya for DD but a hideious spitefull woman who DH named her DD it the week before mine was born.

No Sophia's.
One Sophie.

mouseymouse do not want to out you but are you in UK? Amazed so many Sophies in your office.

Ten Sophia/Sofias,and only one Sophie.

I love the name (and love Safiya too, Kreecher).

Sonia is nice too (Russian diminutive for Sofia). I love the Mexican name Xochitl (pr. SO-shee) and the Irish name Síofra (pr. SHEE-uh-fra)

I know 2, a baby and a 23 yr old. It is one of my favorite names.

The following names are from Substitutes for: Sophia
Seraphina ? a frilly princess name with recent starbaby appeal and an angelic meaning
Sapphira ? a pretty gemstone name, provided you can get over the slightly naughty namesake. (If you?re not familiar with the biblical story of Ananias and Sapphira, click here.)
Sephora ? a name with biblical roots. Sephora is the Greek form of Zipporah, Moses? wife.
Sonia (or Sonya or Sonja) ? a sweet Russian diminutive of Sophia that is familiar but far less common in the U.S.

If it?s the nickname ?Sophie? that really appeals to you, you might like:

Sophronia ? an Italian name meaning ?sensible? (which is certainly similar to ?wise?).  Sophronia was coined by Italian poet Torquato Tasso in the 16th century.  Though it?s elaborate, it shortens easily to Sophie.
Sylvia

None! I know a couple of so sophies though
Love it, go for it

munsters yes uk, but a very international affair.
