Sofia, Sophia or Safia for middle name?

The first name is Alina, the middle name will he one out of:
Alina Sofia
Alina Sophia
Alina Safia

Safia is the Arab version of Sophia and I prefer the meaning of Safia but don’t mind the others.
What are your thoughts?

I usually prefer Sophia spelling, however with the international feel of Alina, then Sofia suits better.

Alina Sofia

Safiya? But I do like Safia.

Love Safia! Very pretty!

Sofia, but probably just because I default to that spelling and always planned to call my daughter that (and then I had sons and never got to use the name!)

I’ve always liked Sofia...it feels slightly more exotic.
Here is a song featuring a brave Sofia...enjoy!

I think Safia fits with Alina best.

Alina Safia is nice but (and correct me if I'm wrong) wasn't the entire name going to be something like Alina Safia Zaria? I think that's just too many -a ending names together. I'd be inclined to have the second name end in something else to break it up. All beautiful names though.

I was going to say the same as Sio, too many a's. But Safia is the best if your choices!

RozaDiPoza · 21/05/2020 12:56

Doesnt flow A then A better Alina Sophie or May or Rose

I love Safiya pronounced Saf - eye - a (Sapphire) but out of your options I prefer Alina Safia - beautiful name choices though, really gorgeous.
