Re: Sophronia?
in reply to a message by IrishGirl
I think it's really pretty. A lot of people on the boards love virtue names, and to me this is the best way to do something like that (for its meaning)! I personally like it for the look and sound. Sophie would be a cute NN, but Sophie is so popular that I'd probably just call her Sophronia or something different like Phria. :)
Do you have any combinations in mind?
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

No, actually. I find it very difficult to pair such an elegant name with another one. I think it takes away from the name. If I said Sophronia Anne or Sophronia Kate I'd feel as though I was ruining the name or something. But then if I said Sophronia Anastacia or something, I think that's *too* much. I hope you know what I mean. If you have any nice ideas that aren't overboard, that would be great. Sorry if I'm not making myself clear, I tend to blab on and on a lot :)
Thanks,

LOL, I type the wrong thing all the time...
I do know what you mean. Kate or Anne just don't flow well with it, but Anastacia is a bit cumbersome. What about something elegant but a little shorter? (OK, I'm having a hard time coming up with shorter, but know what? I don't think it matters. It will be a little much for a little kid, but how often does a 3 year old say her whole name? And when she does, people will think it's cute. So, too bad if it seems long. I'd rather pick two beautiful names that I love than 'dumb down' a combo for what will only be a problem for a short time.)
I have a thing for double -ph- sounds (Yes, -ph- not F for some reason, I like to keep them together. I like F's in names, just not in this instance. I'm weird.), so humor me.
Sophronia Ophelia
Sophronia Seraphina
Sophronia Persephone
Sophronia Delphina
Sophronia Delphine
Sophronia Daphne
Other cool combos I'm liking:
Sophronia Amarantha
Sophronia Amaryllis
Sophronia Helene
Sophronia Silvia
Sophronia Lucia
Ones where I think Sophronia makes a better MN:
Rhea Sophronia
Ingrid Sophronia
Charlotte Sophronia
