HelpRe: Sophie or Sophia
in reply to a message by Lily8
Again I'm a bit curious and would like to know which one you prefer and why. Sophie or Sophia?
A. I like both. I'd probably go with Sophie as I like French names.
How many girls named Sophie and Sophia do you know? How old are they? do you think it will go back in popularity anytime soon?
A. I think both names are pretty popular at present, especially Sophia in the USA and Australia. I know a Sophie - she's 17 (and really sweet and pretty).
Do you think Sophie is nickname-ish? Would you use it as a nickname for Sophia? Do you think many Sophias go by Sophie?
A. No, Sophie is a name in its own right. It can, of course, be used as a nn for Sophia.
Do you pronounce Sophia more like so-FEE-a or SO-fee-ah?
A. Either - betwen the usual Brit pronunciation of Sophia Loren, and Estelle Getty's Sophia in "Golden Girl" reruns, I'm receptive to both pronunciations now (and a trifle confused!).
Which spelling do you like best? Sophie or Sofie? Sophia or Sofia?
A. I prefer the ph versions.
Do you like Alexandria Sophia (so-FEE-ah)?
A. Yes, it's lovely, but I prefer Alexandra. It's less fussy and the ending doesn't rhyme with Sophia's.
