Sophia / Sofia?

[lucieloos]

I like the name Sophia / Sofia. Which spelling do you like best? Is it likely to become Sophie which I'm not so keen on?

I like both - I would maybe expect Sofia to have Italian/Spanish connections, but it's still an established spelling. Might have to correct people more on spelling if you go for that one.

I don't think people would nn to Sophie, but you're likely to get Soph or Fi or something.

Sofia is the Spanish/ Italian version so go for Sophia.

Sophia is the “normal” spelling.

Sofia will lead to a lifetime of her having to spell her name out to others. Don’t do that to her.

It will end up being Sophie/Soph/Sofa etc. Lovely name but very popular. I would pronounce it Sof-eye-ah but I think Sof-ee-a is more common now.

I'd say Sophia

I like ph. I also like zofia (pronounced Sophia) which is better than Sofia in my opinion. It won't get shortened to Sophie as that is a popular name in its own right. You might get soph though.

Both are nice :)

Sofia looks a bit stronger and sleeker in my personal opinion. But Sophia is the more common / established spelling in the UK...

I'd say Sophia. Unless you have a Spanish/Italian/Latin family background.

Sophia, unless you've got Spanish/Italian connections. I'd pronounce it as Soph-eye-a.

I have a teen Sofia - the only thing it's ever been shortened to is Fia and that's mainly by me. She's never had a big issue with misspelling, the odd time in primary school but it was rarely done twice .

Sophia. I think most people in this country will assume this is the spelling.

Spanish/Italian heritage- Sofia
Otherwise- Sophia.

I don't think it would get abbreviated to Sophie - they're two very different names.

The Sofias/Sophias I know have all been nicknamed 'Soff', to rhyme with "cough", rather than "loaf"

Sophia

I prefer Sophia.

Sophia

Sophia

I have a Sofia, my family is Italian.
Its never been shortened to Sophie I think it's a completely different name.
We call her Fia.

Sophia
