AW and baby name question but I want your opinions

TigerLily12345 · February 2014

That is my preferred spelling.

It's on my list, but I think it is just too popular for me (obviously "Sophia" is the more popular version)

I wouldn't bat an eye! Go for it!

@Nichole8787 Okay, your siggy is driving me crazy. Do me a big favor and replace what you currently have there with this code. (Make sure you click the little white box with the red arrows first.)

Thank you so much! I am so slow when it comes to this stuff. I tried setting it up with my nook and failed miserably. Apparently I was just missing the step where I click the box with the red arrows. I'm slow lol

If it's a part of your bloodline and means something special to you, go for it!! There is no reason not to spell it the way you want! Especially this way is not weird to me at all.

I was going to mention Sofia the first but I'm always late to the party! I actually prefer the F spelling anyway. Love it!

jjbaby14 · February 2014

I wouldn't side eye it at all, I think it's a beautiful name and it's pretty spelled either way!

shanaynerz · February 2014

I prefer it. No side-eye! I've seen much weirder spelling of names than that really...

Pooka8 · February 2014

It's a perfectly acceptable way to spell the name. My daughters MN is Sophia. I wanted to spell it with an F, but H refused. He said it was too close to "sofa". Ugh, men!

Salsera29 · February 2014

Thanks again everyone. I will have to show this thread to my mom when we tell her the name and she starts making comments on the spelling...cause she will, oh she will.

January Bride · February 2014

Yep, I'm late to the game but wanted to say that I love Sofia - it's a beautiful name! I definitely consider it to be the normal spelling, along with Sophia. I also love that you are going to call her Sofie - adorable

kd0309 · February 2014

I don't find it odd at all, in fact I think it's a very pretty way to spell the name!

TugboatSheila · February 2014

I actually prefer it with an F!

BoraBoraBaby · February 2014

Late to the party but I vote for $0f33@.

Lol you win the gold!

Cristy1020 · February 2014

That's the way I would spell "Sofia" instead of "Sophia". Looks an sounds more unique too.

knitsandgiggles · February 2014

I like it spelled with an "f" and it's traditional.

What MNs were you considering?

Ecomom17 · February 2014

Oh, I'm someone who hates weird spellings for names (like putting in a "y" just for the hell of it), and I wouldn't side-eye it at all. As you said, it's the German/Italian spelling. And I LOVE that name! So I guess a 1! Just don't spell it "Sofya" or something stupid like that. LOL

cookieinva · February 2014

I am really against weird or made-up spellings, but this isn't either one. Heck Sofia with an "f" is even Disney sanctioned so who can argue with an entire successful franchise? DS adores Sofia with an "f" and I think thanks to the show you will find people very receptive and familiar with that spelling, your mother excepted perhaps.

tshelby85 · February 2014

Both spellings are typical these days. No side eye from me.

shamyfowler · February 2014

Love it! I much prefer the "f". That's how I spell it. I had a co-worker that named her daughter Sofia Louise.

Salsera29 · February 2014

Thanks guys! @knittylady I think we decided on Sofia Marie. My great-grandmother's name was Mary so it's related to that, but we like the way Sofia Marie works rhythmically with the emphasis on the second syllable.

I also like Sofia Renee, but DH's grandmother is named Renee and she's still alive, and in Jewish culture that's a big no-no. So that one has to be out.
