HelpRe: Sophie as a nickname? :s
in reply to a message by Nichole
Personally, I would pick one or the other. As you said, they are different versions of the same name. I find it extremely silly when people use names like Julie, Sophie, or Marie as nicknames for Julia, Sophia, and Maria. Why would you name your child one thing and then call them a legitimate, full first-name from another language or culture? Perhaps it's because I'm a French-speaker, but Sophia does not sound any more "mature" or "complete" than Sophie, imo.
I think both Sophia and Sophie are beautiful names. They are popular, but you can't go wrong with such classic names. I'll admit that I have a slight preference for Sophie, but Sophia is gorgeous too. Both of them are perfect without any nicknames.

My boyfriend speaks fluent french as well...maybe that is too why he prefers Sophie a bit more, I don't know lol. but I do know they are two different names... I only thought that maybe it'd be a good compromise so that we could have both.
No doubt I will be going with Sophia or the spelling Sofia [As I said in my original post, Not sure yet of which spelling but that will be decided later between him and I]
I personally love both... the only difference is that I love the A sound at the end but I do love both names. I want to name her Sophia but who knows... when I look at her face she might be a "Sophie"... I will maybe have a straight answer before hand but I will know for sure when I see her little face. :)
