Sophy Roberts is a British writer whose work focuses on the wild places from Papua New Guinea to the Congo. She began her career assisting the writer Jessica Mitford, and trained in journalism at Columbia University in New York.
This is an interesting spelling that has some appeal as it reminds me of the ending of philosophy-- well, philosophy is the love of wisdom and Sophie/Sophy means wisdom--but it would be annoying to correct people's spelling all the time. Sophie is prettier as well.
I much prefer this to Sophie (which I don't think ages as well)--however, I still prefer both to Sophia. I think Sophy is a great name that deserves to make a comeback.

Wait a second. This is listed as English and a variant of Sophie. Sophie is listed as French. So shouldn't this be listed as an English variant of Sophie?
Actually, the Sophy is a variety of rose, which has a pale pink colour. I was named after said rose, and I actually prefer this flower-name meaning to the stodgy, traditionally-associated "wisdom".
