Sophronia
Thoughts? Would you prefer Sophia or another similar sounding name?

I like it, definitely a guilty pleasure for me but I do like it
I could use Sophie as a nickname.
Very flattering and elegant.
I love it and greatly prefer it to Sophia. I love Sophonisba even more.
It’s very over the top.
I'm bored to tears of Sophia, Sophronia sounds like a great idea to me. I prefer Sophonisba though in terms of "similar" names
I've liked it for years. For some reason I thought the meaning was more like wise than self-controlled, but looking it up again apparently I'm wrong. They're both good meanings (though I am partial to names meaning wisdom) and it has such a lovely refined sound.
I much prefer Sophronia to Sophia, although I do also like Sophronia nn Sophie or Sophronia nn Sonia
Or maybe even Sunny as a nickname!

Sophronia is an elegant, underused name, and a fantastic alternative to Sophia. The problem is, a real-life Sophronia will likely constantly be called Sophia. :-(
