Hi there,

We are really struggling with potential girls names, currently Sophie is our only contender but I would be glad of some other ideas.

Will Sophie become dated or is it classic enough?

We seem to lean towards more classic simple names, I don’t like anything super frilly. Eve had been on my list but veto’d. I’m also trying to avoid anything super trendy. Any suggestions in a similar ball park would be appreciated! ☺️

Sophie won't date. Sadie? Maybe Louisa, Alice, Lucy, Kate type names

Both Sophie and Sophia were DH top picks but we vetoed simply as where we are they are so common, I know at least 10 and so really wanted to avoid them being one of however many in their class at school.

You'd think... but my DD was the only one in her year, and there were 4 Maya's. FOUR!! 😆

I prefer Sophia

I prefer Sophia but Sophie is nice. Maybe Matilda, Annis, Jennifer, Alison, Louise?

I love Sophie (I definitely like it better than Sophia).

Other names with a very similar feel - I think Alice, Charlotte, Lucy, Louise.

Sophie is a classic, like Emma, Lucy, Catherine. I always liked the name Sabina but DH vetoed it.
