Sophia

Sophia.
I think most people would automatically spell it that way, so if you go Sofia you'll be forever correcting it.

I prefer Sofia, though of course BlueStarsAtNight is right about it being likely to be misspelled.

Bowlersarm · 05/11/2014 19:17

Sophia

tywysogesgymraeg · 05/11/2014 19:18

Sophia. Though actually Sophie is even better.

Sophia

Unless you are Spanish

I would have said Sophia until a few weeks ago but my friends had a little Sofia and I actually think it 'looks' prettier if that makes sense :)

I have a nine year old Sofia, so I prefer that.

babyblabber · 05/11/2014 19:54

I have a Sophia. To me Sofia is a city in Bulgaria, not a little girl.

BathshebaDarkstone · 05/11/2014 19:55

Sofia looks softer, so I prefer it. Smile

TheGirlAtTheRockShow · 05/11/2014 20:14

Sophia.
Sofia looks weird to me

loudarts · 05/11/2014 20:17

DramaAlpaca · 05/11/2014 20:18

Sophia

DieselSpillages · 05/11/2014 20:19

Sophia .. Sofia is like something you sit on Hmm

VioletVelvet · 05/11/2014 20:44

Sophia.

Sophronia · 05/11/2014 22:39

Sophia. Sofia just makes me think of the city.

mathanxiety · 07/11/2014 05:16

Sofia. I don't know why.

squoosh · 07/11/2014 12:19

Sophia.

I'd assume a Sofia was Eastern European.

BonnieWeeJeannieMcCall · 09/11/2014 07:40

Sophia

burgatroyd · 09/11/2014 08:46

Sofia.

HRHQueenMe · 09/11/2014 08:47

Sofia will be called SOFAYYYA alot (speaking from experience)but is pretty and classic. She will also have her own city. Sophia is too common these days.

pickwickcrocus · 09/11/2014 08:50

Sofia, as then she could be Fia for short, which I love and it feels like a name in its own right. I guess you could be Fia from sophia too but the spellings don't match up.

HRHQueenMe · 09/11/2014 09:06

Sofia is the scandinavian spelling and Spanish spelling so not just Eastern European!
