Is this a NN for....

[MissMoodyMoo]

We have decided on the name Sophie if our baby is a girl but I really like fifi as a nickname but HATE the name Sofia...opinions?

Fifi works for Sophie.

She’ll get called Soph by her school friends. You can call her whatever you like at home.

Your baby, your choice.
Fifi works perfectly with Sophie, better than Sophia IMO

She won’t get called Soph if she refers to herself Fifi.

Fifi works as a nn for Sophie, thought it might not last into the primary school years - ie, she might outgrow it.

She will be known at school as Sophie and if her friends want to shorten that to Soph they will.

Plus Fifi is not a name many would own to past the age of 8.

My name is Gabriella but I’ve always been known as Ella not Gabby. My friends have always called me the nickname I’ve asked them too. Teachers in school called me Ella too.

I agree that at Primary school age Fifi may seem a bit childish for her though.

I think fifi will be used as a pet name rather than an all the time Nick name, When people ask her name she would always be Sophie x

Haha! Hate is a strong feeling to have for a name that is so close to the one you have chosen.

I know a 40something year old called Fifi - hers is short for Fiona, but there's no reason it wouldn't work for Sophie through primary school and beyond
