Famous bearer: Sophie Neveu, a gifted French cryptologist and granddaughter of Priory of Sion Grand Master Jacques Sauniere in Dan Brown's novel 'The Da Vinci Code'.-- reservoirdoll1987 5/29/2005
I think it's a lovely name although it's hard to shorten it to something nice! It's origin is wisdom which is a beautiful meaning, much better than 'faithful' or 'peace bearer'!-- Anonymous User 7/6/2005
I like the name Sophie. It's cute, dainty, sophisticated and lady-like. Its meaning is very strong, and I like names that mean 'faithful' or 'peaceful'. They have good meanings.-- Anonymous User 7/21/2005
I like the name Sophie, but I think I like Sophia best.-- Anonymous User 8/9/2005
Being a Sophie myself, I do like the name but too many people these days are called Sophie! Over 200 in my school year alone! Also as a short form I get called Soss or Sossy, which is much better than Soph.-- SophieMaria 11/27/2005
Well, not a FAMOUS bearer... Sophie from that horrible educational French show, Téléfrancais. Canadian elementary school students will probably know what I'm talking about.-- Anonymous User 12/5/2005

I'm a Sophie and proud of it. Not only do people see me as a lady-like, intellegent, friendly and kind, but it's also made me feel more attractive than I probably am. I love being a Sophie. (My close friends call me Soph, which I think is fine).-- Cardwitch 12/10/2005

I know a Sophie. I adore her name, and it fits her perfectly. Short, cute, smart, creative, one of the sweetest girls I know.-- Anonymous User 4/28/2006
I named my daughter Sophie Abbigail. I love what Sophie means, and I think that it is a very classy name. I like Sophie better then Sophia. What is interesting is I did not know ANYONE named Sophie, and I had no clue that Sophie and Sophia were becoming very popular again.-- Talisyn 5/19/2006
I adore this name. It's dainty but powerful at the same time. It makes me think of some tall, brooding and thoughtful medieval lady. It's also the name of my dog. *cough*-- black_lace 5/19/2006
Sophie is a pretty name and very soft.-- Anonymous User 6/4/2006

Sophie appeared on the top 1000 list from the 1880's until the 1950's. It came back on the top 1000 list in the 1980's. Its most popular year was 1910 where it ranked 108. In 2005 it ranked 134.-- Anonymous User 9/25/2006
I think Sophie is an ugly, unfeminine name. It is something I would name my dog, not my child. I can’t believe that this name is becoming so popular given how unattractive it is. I am not a big fan of Sophia either, although I do feel that it’s a nicer, more feminine name than Sophie. Sophie without the “a” at the end just sounds incomplete. Sophie also sounds very young and childish, like Carrie or Katie. I can’t image a mature grown women, especially a professional women, wanting to be named Sophie.-- TiffanyS 9/26/2006
The main character in Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder is named Sophie. I love the name, it is very cute!-- nelirosala 10/27/2006

Sophie is too popular and too ugly. The -PHEE at the end makes it sound ugly.-- Anonymous User 12/3/2006
I really like this name. To me, this name is better than Sophia.-- Taydbug112 12/14/2006
My name is Sophie and I love being a Sophie. I wouldn't give it to my child because it's mine, but I'm happy being a Sophie because it makes me feel cheerful, sweet, dainty, friend and funny to my friends. Trouble is, there are too many Sophies in the world now!-- Sophie-Lou 12/17/2006
Sophie is a cute and very beautiful name.-- Anonymous User 1/2/2007
Sophie is such a feminine name. It makes me think of a cute woman who is confident yet able to be girlish.-- dreamer_x 2/5/2007
I don't like "Sophie". It sounds so soft and girly in a way I hate it. Like 'Mia'. I think Sophia or Sofia is better, because it sounds whole.-- 7up 2/10/2007
Nevermind, I think Sophie is pretty.-- 7up 3/1/2007
I absolutely adore the name Sophie. I think it's beautiful in every way. Its simplicity is enchanting enough to forget about its over-bearing popularity all over the world. I imagine a girl with a wondeful creative talent and an extraordinary personality. I really hope this will be one of my daughter's names one day! =D.-- Cyneburga 5/17/2007

I love this name! It's perfectly adorable, although I probably wouldn't name my child this because it sounds almost a tad too feminine for me. But I recommend it just the same! =]-- myhopscotch 9/7/2007
It's okay but I like Sophia or Sofia more.-- Anonymous User 10/29/2007

I LOVE this name, probably my favorite ever! It sounds classic, yet modern, delicate, yet strong. It can fit everyone and it's so beautiful. Perfect name for a girl.-- mistyluv4ever 12/22/2007

Sophie is the main character in the second series of Faithgirlz! books by Nancy Rue. Sophie Rae LaCroix.-- Patricia Underwood 2/16/2008
The character in the book Red Glass, by Laura Resau is named Sophie. This version to me doesn't sound as strong as Sophia (Sophie in the book is doubtful and scared often) but she changes over the course of the story. I think it works great, though, at any age. I especially think it's a great name for cats.-- bunnygirl 3/8/2008
A famous bearer is British computer scientist Sophie Wilson.-- mymymetrocard 3/8/2008
I prefer Sophia. Sophie sounds like a nickname more than a whole name.-- jasmineenimsaj 3/20/2008
This is the name of Seth Cohen's paternal grandmother on The OC, and also the name of his younger sister, Sophie Rose Cohen.-- Miss-Rory 4/14/2008
Sophie is my full name, and I think it's so pretty. However, I get a little annoyed when people assume my real name is Sophia, or call me Sophia. I also hate it when people have the same name as me, so I wish it was more uncommon. But otherwise I love it!-- Peachie 4/28/2008
Whatever! This name is gorgeous! It's so much better than Sophia I think. Really feminine and pretty. Not to mention sweet and sophisticated as well! I love Sophie!-- diamond 5/13/2008
A famous bearer of this name is Sophie Rostopchine (1799-1874), Comtesse de Ségur, a French writer of Russian birth. She wrote children's books for her grandchildren. Her most famous novel is "Les Malheurs de Sophie" (Sophie's Misfortunes), in which the principal character, a little girl called Sophie, is inspired from the author's childhood.-- Marie-Amelie 5/18/2008
Sophie is the kind of name a child gets when her parents want something tritely pretty and are too uncreative to think of anything better. Somehow it's like the fat, stupid version of Sophia.-- gio2475 6/4/2008
The word sophisticated springs to mind when I hear this name. Yes, I like it. It has an upperclass sort of sound to it without being too pretentious. I like it better than Sophia as it sounds more English. Sophia is a bit "try hard" and faddish at the moment. Sophie to me is the classic original.-- miriam_grace 6/26/2008
I find this name tacky, overused and boring.-- CutieCupcake 8/17/2008
The name Sophie is ok, but it sounds like soapy.-- Anonymous User 9/1/2008
I read that Sophie is the number one girl's name of the top 100 of 2008 of The Netherlands. Personally I prefer Sofie.-- Kaat5 9/25/2008
When said with a French or German accent, I don't mind it. When said in English, it's all poodle, airy and insubstantial. Sophie is strictly a canine name to me.-- Anonymous User 11/27/2008
This is one of my favourite girl's names ever. Pretty, sweet but still traditional and strong. I love it.-- Amy456 11/27/2008
In the musical and film 'Mamma Mia!', Sophie Sheridan is a main character. She is Donna's daughter and has three possible fathers!
I love the name Sophie. I know it's popular and all, and I don't usually go for popular names, but I can't help liking this one. I wish it were my name.-- Saffine Grace 1/26/2009
The name of "that slut Sophie" in the (not-so-famous) movie Blast from the Past.-- cam 3/4/2009
To me Sophie is Col. Sherman T. Potter's horse on the TV show M*A*S*H. If you are going to use Sophie/Sophia/Sofie/Sofia on little girls I prefer Sofia.-- BellamynSora 6/1/2009
This name has an innocent tone to it. When pronounced, I just picture some joyful girl growing up into a nice life. It's a name you give your daughter in hopes of her achieving the best in life. At least I would think so.
I like this name a lot and am very much considering naming my future daughter this.-- BlueSalvation 11/5/2009
My parents named me Sophie because my dad went to the Sophia University (no idea why they didn't name me Sophia) and because Sophie means "wisdom". I like my name, and I am the only person in my grade with this name. However, it is becoming increasingly popular, and I like to be unique.-- Anonymous User 11/23/2009
