Just that Smile thoughts on Sophiella? I really love it, but I think it's made up? Oh well, it's still gorgeous!

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 26/08/2016 13:23

It sounds made up,sorry.

Vixxfacee · 26/08/2016 13:23

Just no.

PurpleDaisies · 26/08/2016 13:24

Dreadful.

How about Sophie Ella instead? You can call her Sophiella at home.

Loyly · 26/08/2016 13:24

Awful, sorry OP.

MysteriesOfTheOrganism · 26/08/2016 13:25

Sophie - yes. Ella - yes. Sophiella? Hmm No.

wizzywig · 26/08/2016 13:25

If your surname is bextor then no

SpeakNoWords · 26/08/2016 13:25

I think people will assume on hearing it that it's Sophie-Ella, rather than Sophiella. It's not a name that particularly appeals to me, as it sounds a bit clunky and, yes, made up.

Salmonella

expatinscotland · 26/08/2016 13:26

No, sorry, it's awful.

JC23 · 26/08/2016 13:26

I would assume it was Sophie Ella if I heard it, which is a much nicer option

KingofnightvisionKingofinsight · 26/08/2016 13:27

Agree with all of the above.

Nan0second · 26/08/2016 13:28

Sophie Ella or Sophie-Ella much nicer and less likely to impact her future job prospects

Errm is it Sophie Ella pronounced as one word?
I read it as Ophelia with an S at the start.
Either way a bit odd but could be worse.

EssentialHummus · 26/08/2016 13:35

YY to Sophie-Ella.

Gazelda · 26/08/2016 13:37

In afraid my first thought was salmonella too.

Goingtobeawesome · 26/08/2016 13:39

Looks awful and like you're trying too hard. Or can't spell.

Dogolphin · 26/08/2016 13:39

Sophelia
Ophelia
Henriella
Henrietta
Juliella
Juliette

Some work and some just don't. It depends which are considered accepted and which are made up.

Hockeydude · 26/08/2016 13:43

Sophiella just sounds like so feel 'er

Just sounds awful

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 26/08/2016 13:55

Sorry, I don't like it either OP. It does sound a little bit like salmonella to me but aside from that it just isn't a very nice sound.

Sophie with middle name Ella is a lot nicer Smile.

Or how about Gabriella or Isabella?

Pronounced like Sophie-Ella, or So-fee-la? If the former, you're better off hyphenating or, better still, using Ella as a middle name. The latter just sounds made up.

Pinklily1 · 26/08/2016 14:40

I don't like it at all. Sounds made up, but just my personal opinion.

Caldini22 · 26/08/2016 14:53

Not a big fan

Sophronia · 26/08/2016 14:55

Sophie Ella is nicer
