Sophia versus Anna

[Littenpojke]

Dh is for Sophia, I prefer Anna. Dh is Scandinavian and says that Anna is just too common back home.

Is Anna or Sophia more common in your experience (in the UK)?

Which name (Anna or Sophia) do you think sounds nicest in the English language? We don't like Sophie though. Please help!!

There are so many Sophies and Sophias and they dont really generate any good nicknames.

I prefer Arianna to Anna.

Arianna /Arianne is lovely!

Anna.
I think it's beautiful
Plus Sophia is rising in popularity - I teach 6 of then! ( in different age groups but still!)

Anna is lovely. Graceful yet simple. I'm afraid to me Sophia always sounds like a pretentious version of Sophie.

I think they are both very safe (slightly dull to me) choices, but of the two I would have Anna.

There are absolutely tonnes of Sophie's/ Sophia's round me, and tbh the names make me think of a shy clingy kind of girl who wouldn't say boo to a goose (I know some lovely Sophie's/ Sophia's, but that's my instant thought when I hear the name). Anna makes me think of a more assertive confident girl, who isn't worried what people think of her.

Blue that sums up the Anna I know best!

Anna better to me. Likely to get very popular post Frozen, if that bothers you.

I prefer Anna - it's a great name. Where I live I only know one child called Anna and she's about 3.
