I’m expecting my third baby and have always loved the name [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. My husband and I have a hyphenated name picked out (think [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f]) but I am starting to wonder if [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is going to be as dated as [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] is today. What do you think?
No way. The number of baby names used is far greater today than ever before, so even the #1 girls name is given to far less babies than the #1 girls names of yesterday. I think [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is far more popular globally than [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is anyway.
I definitely don’t see it becoming dated. When I hear the name [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (or [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], for that matter), I can’t even picture when she might have been born…the name seems timeless.
In a way, yes. The other posters are correct on several points. However, there are many [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]'s near your child’s age. It may never reach the heights of [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], but it’s popular enough that she will share her name with class mates.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is a classic choice. I know more Sophies in their 20s than babies and children, so I honestly don’t think it will become dated.
It sure is. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and its derivatives are amongst the top names globally. It is a gorgeous name, just too popular for me right now.
Only time can tell for sure, but I don’t think so. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is a revived classic, as it was popular decades ago, and in other countries. I think names that will be dated are those like [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_u]Haley[/name_u], [name_f]Mikayla[/name_f], etc. Plus, hyphenating her name makes it totally different! So I wouldn’t worry- [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is a beautiful choice. 
If you love the name you should use it. Popularity and high usage won’t necessarily make a name dated in the future. I personally think the names from this generation of babies that will end up in the “dated” category are the trendier ones like [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u], not names like [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] that have a long history of use as a given name.
