1. What do you think of when you picture a girl named [name]Sophie[/name]?
I think of the confident, animal-loving, sweet [name]Sophie[/name] from the [name]Sophie[/name] childrens book series by [name]Dick[/name] [name]King[/name]-[name]Smith[/name].
2. Is it too popular?
In the UK, probably. In the US/[name]Canada[/name], you may be able to get away with it.
3. Any other suggestions for a short, classic, feminine, and spunky girls name?
Not short, but to combat popularity and perhaps a feeling of too-cutesy, you could have [name]Sophronia[/name] with [name]Sophie[/name] as a nickname. Also, you might like: [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Esme[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Blair[/name], [name]Eva[/name].
No, [name]Sophia[/name] probably but not [name]Sophie[/name]. I run a pre-k and have never had a [name]Sophie[/name], but have at least one [name]Sophia[/name] a year…
I think of sweetness and sophistication, it’s a name that will age well, I love it and would say go for it even if it is really popular, besides it might not be in your area. I’m also really loving the combo of [name]Anne[/name]-[name]Sophie[/name] too if you think [name]Sophie[/name] by itself is too popular and I prefer [name]Sophie[/name] to [name]Sophia[/name].
I think it’s a darling name. Yes, it’s fairly popular but there’s a good reason for that. I also agree that [name]Sophie[/name] is much less common than [name]Sophia[/name]. Personally, I think [name]Sophia[/name] is on the verge of pretentiousness but [name]Sophie[/name] is just spunky and cute while having room to grow into sophistication and class with just a touch of sass underneath it all. A great compromise from [name]Zoe[/name], which in spite of the numbers “feels” much more trendy to me than [name]Sophie[/name].
