I like both, but they do have different vibes. I’d probably go for Sophia, but it’s close.

They were my two choices as well!
We went Sofia but if I'd had another girl it would definitely been Sienna.
Love both!

Sophia all the way

Sophia

Sophia

Sophia

Sienna, less dull of the two.

DotDotDotDotDot · 11/01/2021 18:41

I’d choose Sienna, it’s a very pretty name. Sophia/Sofia is sooo overused in my area (although may be less so where you’re from), it feels less appealing to me.

Sienna 100%. Sophia and Sophie all end up getting called Soph anyway

LesLavandes · 11/01/2021 18:58

My daughter is a 'Siena'.

crumpet · 11/01/2021 19:02

I think I prefer Sophie to Sophia

crumpet · 11/01/2021 19:03

But both are nice

Sexnotgender · 11/01/2021 19:06

Sophia is classic. Sienna is lovely but I feel it will date.

Charley50 · 11/01/2021 19:06

I love both.

RosieGirl27 · 11/01/2021 19:07

Sophia is very common

Yennefer19 · 11/01/2021 19:12

Sienna

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/01/2021 19:48

Sophia (while very popular) feels much more classic to me - it's an elegant name with a Regency or European feel imo, so would be my choice of the two.

Sienna is a celeb led name, so feels a little bit tacky to me - it shot up in popularity in 2005 (from rarely used, to the top 100) when Sienna Miller became famous the year before.

Firebird83 · 11/01/2021 21:21

Sophia is classic. Sienna will date badly.

ParisJeTAime · 11/01/2021 21:42

Ooooh I like them about equally, but I think Sophia is more timeless. So I think Sophia, by a whisker.

LarkDescending · 11/01/2021 22:27

Sophia by a mile for me.

LawnFever · 11/01/2021 22:29

Sienna definitely, Sophia/Sophie is so overused

PattyPan · 11/01/2021 22:34

Definitely Sophia - it's classic, works in lots of languages and has a lovely meaning. I don't like place names and Sienna is a bit too trendy.

Honeyroar · 11/01/2021 22:38

I don’t love either, but much prefer Siena (and definitely with one N!)

Haworthia · 11/01/2021 22:38

Sienna. There are about six Sophias (or Sophies) in every year group at my kids’ school. And I know two baby Sophias born last year.

It’s lovely but sooooo overused.

SnoozyLou · 11/01/2021 22:42

We had Sienna as a middle name for our little girl. Sophie was supposed to be her first name, but once she was born, it wasn't the right name for her.
