HelpRe: Sophia - a nickname for Sophronia / Sophronius??
in reply to a message by Barbra
Other than your OP title, I am not totally sure what you are asking / commenting on.
However, I find it tedious to use an established and grounded name like Sophia as a nickname for another established and grounded name like Sophronia.
Soph, yes. Sophie, sure. Sophia... takes it too far.
Just an opinion, but it seems that it completely negates the beauty of Sophronia by connecting it to Sophia, which most people already have an association or opinion on.
As for Daphne and Delphine, I like them both. I see how they phonetically are similar (like Sophia and Sophronia), and how easy it is to like one because you like the other.
Daphne and Sabrina go together well for me too, but that is because of the Sisters Grimm, who are storybook characters. Also because they are both names of nymphs and have that Mediterranean feel.

Thank you - I catch your drift on that - Sophronia does have its own distinctive beauty. Perhaps the child in me enjoys "sticking it to the established conventions" with utilizing Soph, Sophie, or Sophia as a pet for a name less known yet might (arguably) claim an enhanced formality due to novelty.
