My first question is about Sophannagh. How is it pronounced, what does it mean, what is the history of the name and is it still in common use?

My second question: What is Binnie a nickname for?

Sophannagh...

Never heard of it but here is my analysis...

Gh at the end is to make it Irish

That leaves Sophanna...

IMO it looks like Sophia and Anna had a baby.

Dolly just posted over on the Lounge that her parents coined her name.

I have come across Binnie as a nn for Belinda and Sabina.

You could PM Dolly about Sophannagh, since that's her name. It's also her username, so you'd have to send it to Sophannagh and not Dolly. :)

I've never heard of Binnie. Where was the person from with that name?

Binnie was actually a dog! Her owners were English. I don't know where they got the name from. I've also seen it as a "human" name.
