HelpRe: Sophie
in reply to a message by Lily8
Sophie has both spunky and chic qualities rolled up into one name. That's not an easy thing to achieve.
While I can certainly see Sophie as a nn for Sophia, it doesn't have to be confined to that. I don't find Sophie nn-ish in the least. It's the French form of Sophia. It has as much right to stand on its own as Maria (Maria) and Valerie (Valeria).
I say Sophia as, "so-FEE-uh," but I admit the old English "so-FIE-uh" is intriguing.
Alexandria Sophia is too frilly. Alexandra Sophia / Sophie is much more elegant, at least to me.
