Re: Sophie or Sophia
in reply to a message by Lily8
I know five Sophies (Sophie Elizabeth, Sophie Maia, and three others), one Sofie, and one Sophia. They are all between the ages of 11 - 17. It's very popular in my area (with Sophie being more popular than Sophia), and definitely a name for the under 20 set.
I don't think Sophie is NNish, and wouldn't use it as a NN for Sophia. Just because it's two syllables and ends in "ie" doesn't make it a NN!
I pronounce Sophia as so-FEE-ah. I prefer Sophie, but Sophia/Sofia depends on the combo for me.
I like Alexandra Sophie. Alexandria Sophia has too much "ia" in it.
