[Opinions] Re: Bella
in reply to a message by humblebee
Wow, I only know one Sophia who goes by Sophie (and I know quite a few), I thought she was an exception. I just don't get why people use Sophia if they call her Sophie all of the time. Sophie is perfectly fine as a full name, same with Julie, Sylvie etc
Yeah, the first Bella I met was actually a dog :P

I think it's easy for many people to hear that -ee ending, so common in nicknames like Annie, Katie, and Maggie, and end up using names like Sophie, Sylvie, and Julie as nicks for their -ia ending counterparts. I actually prefer Sophie over Sophia, and I know that it's a full and complete French name, but it doesn't bother or surprise me to hear it used as a nickname.
