HelpRe: Sophia?
in reply to a message by Daddysdancer
Well where I live ( Kent England ) Sophia isnt that common, its Sophie that I hear all the time
If you like a name and your husband likes it ( A rare event :0 ) dont put it to one side just because it seems popular
Two things to think on,
1)I called my children Catherine and James two supposedly very common names however I know of no other children in their age group ( under 7 ) with these names.
2)My freind Julie grew up as Julie G and she swore she would find a unusual pretty name if ever she had a daughter, this was about seventeen years ago and she chose the name Chloe, a name which half her family didnt even know how to spell and which her mother in law said was old fashioned, that year shortly after little Chloe was born the name seemed to explode in popularity
I personally know of fourteen Chloe's aged between one year and sixteen years Julie's daughter ended up as Chloe D with Chloe B in her year and Three Chloes in the year below her in primary school :)
What I am trying to say in a rather long winded way is that you can never tell which names are going to be popular in the area you live in so just use the names you truely love be they Sophia, Freya, Sammie Jo or Phred :)

Thank you so much! My cousin Jessica just named her baby Hannah despite the fact that it's supposedly very popular. I met the first Hannah under 16 that I've ever met at a children's charity event that I danced at last weekend. Some people complained to my cousin that Hannah would hate her name growing up, but she and her husband both liked the name so they used it. Practically everyone my age growing up was Ashley or Jessica, but some of them genuinely liked their names despite being called Ashley E. or Jessica H. I haven't personally met a young Sophia so it's still at the top of my list. Anyways, thanks again!
