Is Sofia too common?

[Goodluckjonathan76]

Very early days in pregnancy but talking baby names with DH. We cannot use the girl's name I dearly love as it's DSD's middle name. There are a few other names i like that we also can't use as they are already used in DH"s family. We both like Sofia (DH loves it) but I am put off by the fact it's so common. I hear/see it literally all the time, including with the Spanish spelling. My 2 sons have classic/quite unusual names that are not overused and I really don't want to use a name that is so common. DH, on the other hand, is Spanish and not at all put off by using a common name, in fact, from his perspective it's good to use a family or well known name. Is Sofia too common though? We have two other names we both like, Ines and Lucia, but I am not made on either of them.

thanks again all. Just out of curiousity, what does everyone prefer out of Ines and Clara?

LOVE Ines :)
Congratulations

Clara is soooo popular now, like Sofia, it's a bit too nicely nicely IMO too! I think Ines is spunky , like it a lot

Tht was meant to say nicey nicey !

I prefer Ines to Clara. Ines really is a lovely name.

I love Sofia and would have used it for ds3 if he'd been a girl. I don't care how popular or otherwise a name is. It's a beautiful name, and makes me think of a very strong female character from two books I love. I think it's a timeless name, in all its forms.

Clara is also gorgeous and with a K would have been our girl's name for ds1 and ds2. Lovely lovely names you like, op!

Ines

Aww, thanks all. Clara is my absolute all time favour but DH has vetoed as his daughter as Klara as a middle name. So glad people seem to like Ines as much. Think we may have a decision!
