HelpRe: WDYTO Sophie?
in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet
yawn... Not a fan... Never really liked the name and there re lots of Sofies as well... Plus, it's a nn for Sophia/Sofia which is also WAY overused right now and I'm not a big fan of nns as official names. (SO glad I didn't get lumped w/ Debbie as my "real name" because it's so not me and I quit going by it when I was 8).

Sophie is NOT just a nickname. It's a full French name. I heard of Sophie long before I heard of Sophia. To me if your going to call her Sophia, name her Sophia; if you're going to call her Sophie, name her Sophie. They're two distinct names.
Trying to say that Sophie isn't a full name, but a nickname for Sophia, is exactly like saying Claire isn't a full name, but only a nickname for Clara. Claire and Sophie are the French versions, though they are OCCASIONALLY used as nicknames for Clara and Sophia.
Just something I needed to get off my chest :). Hope you understand.
