Sofia’s middle name

36 replies

AnaMRT · 11/08/2024 17:30

So we have finally settled on the name Sofia for our daughter. I was wondering if I can get some help with her middle name please? We already have: Olivia Georgiana, Arthur Thomas, George Edward and Claudia Marie. This is just to give an idea of what we usually like and what type of names our children end up with. For Sofia we like Sofia Elizabeth Rose but I’m having second thoughts. Here are some combinations that I also like. I would appreciate any feedback. If anyone has any better suggestions please share as we are registering her name tomorrow.

Sofia Isabella Rose
Sofia Florence
Sofia Lily Anne
Sofia Francesca Mae
Sofia Charlotte Mae
Sofia Louisa Mae
Sofia Emily Kate
Sofia Felicity Rose
Sofia Abigail Rose
Sofia Elena Kate
Sofia Catherine Mae

Ditch the Rose and Mae. Every other Sofia and Sophia will have it as a middle name.

Sofia Elena Kate.

That’s a good point!

I like Sofia Mae
How many people know your middle name anyway, Rose and Mae make great middle names imo

I wouldn’t give her 2 if none of the others have 2 though…

Sofia Elena Kate.

We discussed these middle names as potential first names early on but for whatever reason didn’t work. Liked that they are simple and can stand the test of time.

@AnaMRT they are all lovely names but I agree with pp, Rose and May/Mae/Mai are just overused.

Sofia Elena Kate or Catherine runs so well and all together makes a very elegant name.

There's a Sophia Grace in my family and I think it's lovely

Sandysandwich · 11/08/2024 18:06

I like Sofia Florence from your list

Sofia Elise

Sophia Savannah?

I like the rose or mae with all of them, but having two middle names used to drive my brother insane.

Sofia Juliet
Sofia Brianne
Sofia Jasmine
Sofia Marianne

Sofia Isabella Rose
Sofia Florence
Sofia Lily Anne
Sofia Francesca Mae
Sofia Charlotte Mae
Sofia Louisa Mae
Sofia Emily Kate
Sofia Felicity Rose
Sofia Abigail Rose
Sofia Elena Kate
Sofia Catherine Mae

For my personal taste I would scrap the Mae/ Rose as it's overdone.

I love Sofia but I think doesn't sound right with another 'a' ending name so that scraps Isabella, Francesca Louisa, Elena.

I really like Sofia Elizabeth.

Also like Sofia Florence and Sofia Catherine. To me, these 3 sound very classic and feminine.

I'd probably spell it Sophia myself.

Sofia Elise

Loved Florence as a first name too but DH didn’t like it because of the shortenings.

I think because she’s our last I’m trying to squeeze more names in there!

Sofia Elizabeth Rose is beautiful!
Agree that Lily and Mae are everywhere at the minute.
Sofia Florence is also lovely

BiggieLittle · 11/08/2024 18:47

I’d go with something a bit more unusual/braver in the middle spot (perhaps a name you don’t feel brave enough to use in the first spot?) as Sofia is a pretty popular name.
definitely wouldn’t use Rose or May as they are so common as middle names!

how about:
Sofia Blythe
Sofia Aurelia
Sofia Felicity
Sofia June/Juniper
Sofia Primrose

Sofia Florence was my mother's name, she was a beautiful elegant lady and the best mother that ever could be. She had 4 children from the ages of 1
16-20 myself and twin brother being the eldest and I feel like she grew up with us. Unfortunately I only had boys and would have loved to have named a girl after her! Sofia Florence all the way x

All 4 of your other children only have one middle name. I'd definitely stick with just one again!

Sometimeswinning · 11/08/2024 23:15

I’m a fan of the middle name being after someone and having meaning. I went with a ggm and gps names. All 3 of mine carry a family name and I hope it continues.
