Sophia if they will have an auntie Sophie

[juleypooly]

Is it weird to call our second child Sophia when my sister is called Sophie? We figured they would probably end up with the same nickname! We are close to my sister although she is not local if that makes any difference!

I share my name with an aunt. We both feel honoured...

Not weird at all. In that situation I'd take it as a compliment 🙂

No. It’s pretty common really

No I think it’s fine and yes a bit of a compliment really.

Perfectly fine.

It's fine if it were me I would go for the Sofia spelling however.

Thanks for the overwhelmingly conclusive replies! Still trying to convince OH..

No, there are 17 billion Sophias though, if that bothers you

It’s fine but please don’t pretend it’s to honour your sister or anything like that.

I have the same name as my Aunt, it’s fine.

Would never cross my mind to worry about it.

I have a stupidly large family, two of my cousins have the same name as me.

It happens in families frequently doesn't it?
In my family alone;
Josephine and Joanne
Rose and Rosemary
Evangeline and Eva
Edward and Edmund.

I personally wouldn’t because I think it’s so similar and there’s so many lovely names to choose from, but if you love the name go for it!

Some names that feel similar to Sophia - Louisa, Helena, Ophelia, Saskia, Clara

If you love the name Sophia then go for it! My DD is called Sophia. It’s a beautiful name. Although she does get called Sophie by some. It drives me insane because it’s not her name! Her swimming teacher especially can’t seem to grasp that her name is Sophia and not Sophie!!
