Orla or Sophie

[SJay401]

Which do you prefer? Sibling to a Harry with a J surname

Sophie x

Sophie

Sophie, purely because Orla always autocorrects to ‘oral’ - sorry OP!!

Orla, because Sophie/Sophy/Sofie/Sophia is so overused these days. Orla is lovely.

Sophie, even though I love Orla, because you already have a Harry. I know this is a 'me' thing but I'd find it odd to have one kid with an Irish name and another without. Maybe it's because all the families I know who've chosen Irish names for their kids do it across the board. Unusual to me to have a Jane and an Oisin of that makes sense.

I love them both but I got put off Orla by being told that in Hebrew it means foreskin. So for me, Sophie.

I voted for Orla because i don't like Sophie at all. It reminds me of sofa.

But i DO really like Sophia. Had that been the other choice, i'd have chosen Sophia

Orla!

If you have an Irish or other rhotic accent and pronounce the 'r', Orla is beautiful. Pronounced in a non-rhotic accent, not quite so much. 'Awla' really isn't pretty.

Sophie is gorgeous, so that's my pick.

Sophie is my favourite girl's name.

Sophie is a beautiful, classic name.

Orla not so much for me, it's too much like 'oral'..... too much potential for bullying I think

Sophie suits any age and matches Harry perfectly.

Orla is one of my least favourite Irish girls names I don't find it a nice sound, and the fact it often autocorrects to oral could be embarrassing/problematic for her later in life.

How about Orlaith?

Sophie! But I've never liked Orla, even though loads do - not even sure why!

Sophie also goes nicely with Harry.

Definitely Sophie. Such a lovely, classic name.
Really dislike Orla. Hard sounding name.
Also
Harry and Orla? No. Doesn't go well.
Harry and Sophie? Lovely! Really goes together nicely!

Sophie

Definitely Sophie. X

Sophie. Oral sounds like Awla in many accents.

Hmm I'm biased - but I have a Sophie and a Harry. They may be over used but both DC like their (classic) names are thankful that they do not have unusual names-neither are 'out there' personality wise. Sophie tends to her Soph amongst those who know her.

Ps: I do like Orla too!!

As a pp said, ORLA just makes me think ORAL. Sorry @SJay401

Definitely SOPHIE.

I like Orla but Harry and Sophie sound better together. They’re both nice names!

Also initials OJ making me think of OJ Simpson.
SJ much nicer

I love Orla , two very different names !

Sophie is lovely, Orla has a nice meaning but not a nice sound
