We are deciding between Sofia/Sophia and Emilia to be DD2's name. DD1 is Olivia Grace and we really don't mind popularity so that is not a factor. Also if you pick one of the Sofia/Sophia's can you please say why you chose that spelling and if you choose Emilia, please explain how you pronounce it. Thanks!!!

I'm just going by personal opinion to be honest. I've seen it spelled Sofia before but really don't think it looks right. Also, if you call her "Sophie" I think that looks a bit better than "Sofie". It almost looks as if sofia would be pronounced "saw-fa" versus "so-phe-a." Just my opinion though! Good luck!
I have always preferred Sofia. I don't know why, exactly. I guess it feels more sophisticated, simple, and elegant.
I think Emilia is nice too. It is not my favorite. /eh-MEEL-ya/
That is what is holding me up on Emilia. Everyone tells me Emilia is pronounced differently from Amelia. Sorry I'm not good at doing the correct pronunciation lettering but. I say Amelia
Uh-MEEL-ya and I say Emilia EM-eel-ya. However I've noticed most pronounce them almost exactly the same.
hmm it may be location and accent. I'm in the Chicagoland area and I've noticed that everyone around here says Uh-livia-uh instead of what seems like how other people pronounce it as O-live-ia. I guess it's similiar for Emilia
ok so I know this makes me seem like a total idiot but how do I view my poll results? It's hiding the results from me, do I have to vote on my own poll? The bump tech support is still showing the old forum layout and answers ::sigh:::
@mj.reilly that is such a silly process, of course I should know better it's the bump . Thanks so much for answering, I'm usually mobile and can't do much of anything so this is my first poll since the conversion.
I voted or Emilia. Sophia and Olivia were the names of Jude Law's children in the movie The Holiday (great movie btw). I definitely prefer the ph spelling in Sophia as well.
I pronounce Emilia the way Emilia Clark says her name: Eh-meel-Leah. It's similar, but more elegant than Amelia, which I have always heard pronounced Uh-meel-yuh.
For Sophia, I like this spelling. It looks more complete and doesn't make me think of sofa.

Funny I had to google Emilia Clark, since I didn't know who she was. . Thanks for the feedback!
