I don't hate it, but I prefer Sophia. Zofia just lacks Sophia's pleasantly soft sound, though I still find it enjoyable in its own way. It would be a good alternative to Sophia and Sofia if you don't like the popularity. I think the reason Zofia has such a low rating is because people just assume it is a weird modern English variant of Sophia, which is not true.
A famous bearer of the name is Zofia Blazkowicz. She is the mother of the main protagonist in the game Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
