We have a little Polish girl at my work whose name is [name_f]Zofia[/name_f] and sometimes goes by [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]. I love it!

Tough one, but I voted for [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]. There’s something so sweet about it.

I had to think about this one – both are lovely – but ultimately [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] got my vote. She’s got both sweetness and zest to her, which I love, and is a little unusual, without being too out-there.

I really like [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]! Very striking.

[name_f]Zara[/name_f] is also very pretty sounding but unfortunately I immediately think of the clothing brand which has a less than stellar reputation for the controversial.

I like [name_f]Zara[/name_f]. I’m not really a fan of the sound of [name_f]Zosia[/name_f], plus I think people who aren’t familiar with Polish names wouldn’t pronounce it right.

[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] fan here. Such a lovely sound and pleasingly unexpected.

Oh, I am a huge fan or [name_f]Zarah[/name_f]/[name_f]Zara[/name_f]! Have you also considered [name_f]Zora[/name_f]?

[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] is stunning - sweet, distinctive, spirited yet grounded. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is lovely too, but has something of an “English people trying to be exotic” connotation for me, a bit like [name_f]India[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Zahrah[/name_f], which feels more authentic.

I also like [name_m]Zohar[/name_m], Zosima, Zoria, and [name_f]Zarya[/name_f].

I vote for [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]. Sush a beautiful name. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is too associatied with the clothes brand for me.

I’ve always loved [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]

I am so crushing on [name_f]Zosia[/name_f], I think it’s so sweet and charming. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] has a more distant, glamorous feel to me. So while both are lovely names, I think [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] strikes a wonderful balance for a baby girl.

Thanks for all the votes and comments

Interesting that [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is ahead in the poll but [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] seems to have got more love from commenters!
