I find Sopris worse than Sopater, actually. And I think any variant would be, because it's just so much more involved. Sopater has an easy background: "My parents are really into obscure Biblical names. These are my siblings Osnapper and Keren-happuch." Some people are like that. Making up a whole new variant wholecloth? That's weird. Do you want this for a specific, existing character? If not... well, just use Sopater as is and give it to a character who is a little needy and/or weird.

The real problem with Sopater, though, isn't that it's nerdy and weird but that it kinda sounds like Soap Eater. But you're not likely to completely remove this problem trying to make a new variant with these same sounds.
