Just curious are you pronouncing it SOF EE A or SOF EYE A?
Who the hell would pronounce it Soph-eye-a?!
I like Sophia Colette.
The pronunciation of Sophia as soph-eye-a, is an older British way. The town I grew up in still uses this pronunciation. I have friends that lived on soph-eye-a street.

Given that this is the #1 baby name in the country, I think everyone is going to unquestionably pronounce it the more Americanized way. I'm surprised there would be any question in that at all.

Please forgive me for not being American! Didn't know I'd get snark for asking a legitimate question.

Completely agree. This is a popular name right now and most have never heard it pronounced the British way.

FWIW I am a Canadian who used to live in England and have never heard the pronunciation Sof-eye-ah. It seems like that pronunciation is a very local thing.
It's nms, but I babysat for a little girl a while back named Kayleen. I am not sure where her mom came up with it- so it's a possible smoosh/ made up name, but your post made me think of it.
Of the previous suggestions, I really like Sophia Noelle.
