Sophie or Eleanor

[newtothis20]

Sorry to post again, we still haven’t decided on a name for our little girl due imminently. We’ve ruled out lots and think we’re now settled on either Sophie or Eleanor. Which would you vote for?

I prefer Sophie - I'm bored of all the vowely names.

I like Eleanor.

Sophie

I’m sorry - but either! Both are gorgeous!! Which goes best with surname, and do you have a middle name?

Sophie Eleanor [Surname] actually sounds quite nice!

Both nice. Sophie is my favourite though.

Both are so gorgeous
I think I have a slight preference for Sophie as Eleanor could get shortened to Ellie and I’m not so keen
But honestly, both are so beautiful

Eleanor. Sophie is so dull and 90s

I went for Sophie Eleanor in your position and haven’t regretted it yet.

Sophie for me, though I like Eleanor too.

I prefer Eleanor, to Sophie but I live in New Zealand and Sophie was so popular many years ago here :)
Eleanor also has more nickname options :)

Sophie is my favourite

I find Sophie is a bit overused now. Definitely prefer Eleanor

Sophie

I know a lot of baby Sophie’s and Sofia / Sophia’s no young Eleanor’s if that makes any difference (although a few teenage Ellie’s)

Eleanor

I love Eleanor.
I've always found Sophie a little dull and wet.

Both very very beautiful names, although I adore Eleanor, always have

Eleanor.

Love both but Sophie is SO common, I'd go for Eleanor.

Sophie! My DD is obsessed with the tiger who came to tea at the moment and I love the name the more I hear it. Shame she has an aunty sophie 😂.

If I were you I’d be naming her sophie and buying her a tiger jelly cat toy ❤️

I like both but, if you are likely to abbreviate, I think Eleanor has more options; Ellie, Elle, Nellie etc. I know some hate to shorten but it may well happen in any case.

Sophie

Sophie is lovely and underused. I find Eleanor quite harsh. Ellie is cute for a wee girl but rather twee for an adult human female, in my opinion

I much prefer Eleanor.

I think both are lovely but I'd probably choose Eleanor.
