[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!
[name_m]Just[/name_m] interested to see what the general preference is between [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and your reasons why.
It’s really just an interest thread - [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is strong on my list, but [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] isn’t.
Personally I love [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], but dislike [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] feels a bit prissy, posh, dense and ‘buttoned-up’ to me, whereas [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is more breezy, light and fun, but with all the grace of [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
Which and why?
Thank you! X 
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] rings as a complete name for me while [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] seems like a nickname for [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]… sweet and chic. I tend to like [name_m]French[/name_m] girl names (I also prefer [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] to [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]). I do love [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] though which strikes me as fresher than [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and more romantic than [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] for some reason…
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f], definitely! This is my name and I love it! [name_m]French[/name_m] names are a favorite of mine, and I agree with you, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] has always sounded prissy to me.
I vote [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. It’s sophisticated and chic, while [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] seems trendy and overused. Crazy how one letter/syllable makes a difference!
I much prefer [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. I feel it is more feminine and sweet.
Maybe you can name her [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and call her sophie, that way when she is old enough she can decided what she likes
I prefer [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], because you can always call her [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] as a nickname. Plus, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] just has a more formal feel to me, while [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is young-girl and nicknamey.
I prefer [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. I always like the formal option of a name. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is too nicknamey.
I much prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]! I have always tended to prefer [name_m]French[/name_m] names (though not always) and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] always seemed like a beautiful name to me in it’s own right, never a nickname. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] seems [name_m]OTT[/name_m] to me.
Between two [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Sofya[/name_f] the most
Definitely [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] for me. I don’t mind [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], but don’t love it - it strikes me as more refined, although that extra flourish makes it potentially a little more pretentious. I also am never sure if it’s So-fee-a or So-fye-a (it can be either of course) - I think I liked So-fye-a better, but that’s the less common pronunciation. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is classic, beautiful, simple and elegant.
I prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. I think its sounds prettier and more sophisticated.
My preference is for [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], because I tend to like names with more syllables and that end with -a. Plus, you can use [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], so two names for the price of one!
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is my favourite. I’ve always loved it anyway but it will be a middle name if I ever have a daughter due to family significance.
I do like [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. It looks and sounds nice. But to me even though they are obviously similar looking/sounding they feel very different. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] isn’t as pretty to me and it is quite clunky and older sounding whereas [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is fresh and vibrant.
