Sophie is NOT just a nickname. It's a full French name. I heard of Sophie long before I heard of Sophia. To me if your going to call her Sophia, name her Sophia; if you're going to call her Sophie, name her Sophie. They're two distinct names.

Trying to say that Sophie isn't a full name, but a nickname for Sophia, is exactly like saying Claire isn't a full name, but only a nickname for Clara. Claire and Sophie are the French versions, though they are OCCASIONALLY used as nicknames for Clara and Sophia.

Just something I needed to get off my chest :). Hope you understand.
