HelpRe: Think we decided on a name
in reply to a message by bea94
It's okay, just very undisinguished-sounding. Sophie is a nn I have never liked, it's cutesy and prim and sounds too much like soapy. SJ might be a nn, for the right person. All the other nns I can think of would be for Juliet and it seems silly to use a nn for the middle name if you intended her first name to be Sophia.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Friends of mine had a daughter, born with no hair. They battled for months to choose a name for her, and suddenly Sophia appeared to be the one. So they registered her birth proudly and started calling her Phia, which in our dialect sounds like Fire. When her hair finally sprouted, it was red, which made her nn very suitable (and very funny, because she had the nn before the apparent reason for it).
Cool story!
