Sophia Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Sophia just sound a bit odd, sorry.

Wishfulmakeupping · 17/07/2013 14:31

Elizabeth Sophia is lovely and lots of nicknames choices little Betsy so fabulous :)

Agree with above poster, Elizabeth Sophia just doesn't roll off the tongue very well but Sophia Elizabeth definitely does Smile

Hawkinzy · 17/07/2013 14:32

Agree with trapeze* Smile

Sophia Elizabeth is lovely

chocolatemartini · 17/07/2013 18:53

Both beautiful names

Sophia Elizabeth is lovely :)

It depends what you want to call your daughter on a day-to-day basis. Middle names are rarely used.

Are they both middle names?

Thank you girls. I get it, Sophia Elizabeth sound nicer. Is this based on how they sound together?

Do you generally like the first name Sophia better than Elizabeth? Thanks!

Sounds better that way IMO & prefer name Sophia in general! :)

Bugabooed · 18/07/2013 10:41

I prefer Sophia to Elizabeth.

NomDeClavier · 18/07/2013 12:31

Depends how you're pronouncing Sophia for me. I would say it So-fie-a but lots of people seem to say So-fee-a.

themilkmonster · 18/07/2013 16:15

Sophia Elizabeth for me too

sleepingbeautiful · 18/07/2013 16:21

I prefer the name Elizabeth by a long way, but as a pair Sophia Elizabeth flows better.

fifi669 · 18/07/2013 20:34

My niece is Sophia Elizabeth..... Just saying

MarianneBrandon · 18/07/2013 21:15

I love both names but I love Sophia a bit more than Elizabeth. Sophia Elizabeth just seems to flow better imo but I like both.

KittenofDoom · 18/07/2013 21:45

I disagree with everybody, it seems. Elizabeth Sophia flows much better to my ears, as you don't have the two vowels colliding in the middle.
