go with #1—who is [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name].
I thought we had agreed on [name]Margaux[/name] for daughter #2 but after telling some people (in real life) they all had a snide comment–“you know people will call her [name]Marge[/name]”, which I personally think is a stretch.
anyway–DH is now not as in love with the name.
open to suggestions here! 
also, our last name is short but very italian.
thanks!
forgot to add middle name will likely be [name]Maria[/name]/[name]Marie[/name] which is a family name.
Hmm, since [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] is very popular (but also very pretty!) do you have a thing for popular names? Or do like more classic names, which [name]Sophia[/name] and [name]Emily[/name] also are?
Either way, some more popular choices…
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Maria[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
Or some less popular choices…
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Jasmine[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Eden[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and Bearice [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Georgia[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Lilac[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Thea[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Marie[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]
Like any? I would love to hear what you think!
thanks. 
I like [name]Anna[/name] a lot.
I don’t like popular names…believe it or not. haha I named [name]Sophia[/name] when I was 6 years old (and had her at 36) and [name]Emily[/name] was also my mom’s middle name. my mom passed away in 2000.
I really love the name [name]Margaux[/name] or [name]Margo[/name]. It’s on my list, too. I really don’t think anyone would call her [name]Marge[/name]. [name]Margo[/name] is already a nicknamish name (originally short for [name]Margaret[/name]), why would anyone change it to another nickname?
What a beautiful name [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Emily[/name] is! [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Isabelle[/name] [name]Maria[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Maria[/name]
[name]Carolina[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Marie[/name]
While there are some great alternatives here, I just want to say that there’s no reason to move away from [name]Margaux[/name] because of that inane nickname comment. I’ve had two friends named [name]Margo[/name] for more than a decade and it has never, not once, occurred to me to call either of them [name]Marge[/name] until this moment. And I know a little girl named [name]Margaux[/name] who also is never ever called [name]Marge[/name].
[name]Margaux[/name] is gorgeous! I highly doubt anyone would call her that. If anything, they might call her mar-gee, with a hard g sound (like [name]Maggie[/name]), not a j sound. [name]Marge[/name] is for [name]Marjorie[/name]/[name]Margery[/name].
