Sophie or Katie?

I can't decide, neither can DP.
Either name will be hyphenated with Rose.
So Sophie-Rose OR Katie-Rose?

Sophie, not hyphenated with Rose.

Why does it have to be hyphenated?

ProudNeathGirl · 25/07/2013 18:37

Katherine, shortened to Katie. Katie isn't a name, it's a nn.
Also not hyphenated.

Cordial · 25/07/2013 18:38

I prefer Katie.

Not mad about it hypenated though not what you asked but I prefer an 'a' ending name for hyphenated names. E.g Ella-rose

I'm not sure why I say this because Katie Rose would make a lovely first and second name! Smile

The hyphenated isn't negotiable as its family tradition although only the first part will be used anyway.

Katie but I would give Katherine (or Catherine I prefer) as a given name or Kate.

Sophie is very lovely too.

Neither of them hyphenated for me but you didn't ask that lol :)

Kate is lovely

Katie. No -Rose.

If it had to be hyphened, Katie-Fay

lottieandmia · 25/07/2013 19:22

I would choose whichever one suits her best. A Katie has a different look from a Sophie.

Sophie Rose or even nicer IMO Sophia Rose.

SelectAUserName · 25/07/2013 20:26

Why hyphenate if you're only planning to use the first part anyway? (Genuine question)

Catherine Rose, NN Katie is a pretty, classic name.

Kt1991 · 25/07/2013 20:30

Good choices in names! Mines Katie and my younger Sis is Sophie :) I personally prefer Sophie out of the two names though! I think Sophia Rose sounds lovely together though

TidyDancer · 25/07/2013 20:30

Katherine Rose or Sophie Rose.

The hyphen cheapens both names IMO.
