Does everyone think the spelling of my chosen name is odd??

Hubby and I just found out we are expecting a little girl.

We have chosen the name Sofee but everyone thinks we should spell it a more traditional way.

Am I just being weird??

I know of an Oliveeah. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Yes, very odd. I would assume that you were joking.

I love baby name threads. On the presumption that this is a wind up.

SooFeeee is an awful name. Try Mabel.

I have a Sophie

she sometimes spells it Sophy as she is a contrary teenager!

I don't think spellling it Sofee is a good idea though, sorry

Sophie is a lovely name and for the sake of your daughter having a simpler time of it I would definitely spell it as Sophie (or Sofie if you really prefer the F)

Yup I thought sofa.

If this baby us a girl we love the name Sophie!

But that just looks like poor spelling. I can almost envisage a teacher saying ' good try dear but that's not how you spell your name.'

Sofee - with the first part pronounced soo to rhyme with zoo. Does the e change the sound of the o?

If you like the spelling with an f, why not go for Sofia? Somehow less wrong-looking than Sofee (a cross between sofa and settee)

I agree, if you want an F in it - Sofie sounds better than Sofee
