Sophie
What do people think of this?
It kind of has a bit of a Enid Blyton feel to me

I know what you mean about the Enid Blyton feel - it feels a bit British boarding school novel, but that's perfectly okay (I've read far too much Malory Towers anyway).
I really like Sophie, but I like Sophia even better, either spelled like that or as Sofia.

I'm completely and totally in *love* with Sophie
as a nn for Sophia, that is, for many, many years now. Long before my little Sophia nn Sophie was born. Long before Sophia / Sophie was even in the top 250, much less the top 10; I fell in love with it when I was about 10yo, when it was in the 400s. It's the meaning, for me, that makes it irresistible.
But I must ask: Your comment about an Enid Blyton feel is utterly opaque to me. I have no idea what you mean. Can you please clarify?

Love the name Sophie, always have.

I was about 18 years old when Meryl Streep starred in "Sophie's Choice." Until then, Sophie had been a name in my history books, a name for an obscure German princess or two.
Suddenly, it was OK to name a dd Sophie. Amazing. I remember hearing a woman a few years later calling out for her dd Sophie. I smiled.
I love the spunkiness of Sophie. It makes me think of obscure German princesses and that little girl on the bus. I'm still smiling. :-)

I love it, and wish it wasn't so popular. I love how simple it is. I'm actually reading Howl's Moving Castle again now (the main female character is named Sophie).
